If you decide to stay here, you will appreciate the location, the cleanliness and an offered bottle of wine (thanks again!). The place was very central and easy to access major attractions of the city, and for that reason, the price was good. However, one main bonus of the apartment advertised was the view of the Douro river, which at the time of our stay was blocked by construction. Of course, I understand that these instances are out of the control of the apartment owners, however it would have been nice to have been advised about this before confirming our stay. Nice place but maybe if you are expecting a view of the river, confirm with the host that the construction has been completed or not.
