We had a wonderful stay of five nights in the Belomonte River View Apartment. The apartment is in the heart of the old town of Porto (but very quiet). You walk down the stairs and it is all there - less than 5 minutes away - in fact the closest restaurants are across the road, bakery, mini mart just down the hill. 5-10 minutes walk to the waterfront Douro cruise location, more restaurants. Views from the apartment over the Douro on one side are wonderful, but I also enjoyed my street front view on the other side with its washing lines and interesting houses. We accepted offers of airport pick up and drop off for taxi type price (but organised for us) and that worked well. Our driver carried up our bags which was wonderful. Maggie met us inside and provided heaps of local information. Later she came back to sort out another minor problem when we overloaded a circuit. Communication throughout was great.
