Filipa's apartment is located on the second floor of a building right on the Ribeira. The balcony gives an amazing view of Gaia and Douro River. We would pull the chairs up to the french windows and enjoy our coffee/tea/wine. Filipa also owns the wine bar on the first floor, although they only serve simple bar food, but they are very high quality and yummy. Filipa was very friendly and helpful. This place is a true gem, so much larger and better priced than the hotels in the area.
