Rui is a one of a kind space right on the river Douro. There are three balconies to sit on and enjoy the air and the view. The apartment was one large room divided with tall cabinets into living space and bedrooms. Might be tough with smaller kids due to noise. The room appears to have been a former art gallery or artist loft and there are many interesting pieces of art throughout the space. Really unique place to stay in heart of tourist area the Ribeira. We loved the breezes and the view so much.
