We had a pleasant stay. The location is about 7 minutes walk to the metro, or about 45 minutes to walk to downtown shores of Douro. Parking is free on the streets around but often it is full nearby, you just have look farther. Maria directed us through email on arrival. The house has about 8 rooms to rent, with several kitchens and bathrooms, everything was clean and available to use. Maria was very responsive and communicated well to solve our problems. We got locked out of our room by accident and she immediately arrived to open the door. It is a safe location, with a locked garden that you can enjoy. Would recommend.
