LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. The flat is a minute walk to the Douro River and main plaza for restaurants and drinks. What was also useful was that Sao Bento station is just a 5 minute walk so easy to get from the airport and also we took a train from there to Alveiro. which was an 1.5 hrs a way worth the visit for a day trip. The no. 500 bus stop is also a short walk away where we went to Matosinhos and enjoyed great seafood restaurants.
The apartment was super clean and had lovely views to a cathedral. The pictures are accurate.
The weather was pretty bad so it was good to have heating. The power shower was awesome and soap/shampoo and hairdryer was provided.
Joana is also a great host and responded very quickly for our needs. We thank her for allowing us to come a couple of hours earlier.
If available we would certainly return to this lovely apartment.
PS. The pictures on the walls are a magnificent detail.
