My girlfriend and I stayed 4 nights at Manuel's flat, which is well located : 10-15'' by foot from the river Douro and next to the different Portowine houses (a bit more to come back, because of the slope). The room is clean, spacious and the bed is good. There is a large overview from the window. There is no private parking for a car, but you can park it in the street, even it is not allowed. Manuel told us about the different places of the city to see/visit the first evening, but then we didn't have much relationship with him and his family (his wife and his three sons). No need to take the breakfirst : there are pasteries, coffees and shops all around.
