An extraordinary apartment with a picture postcard view of the Douro. It is run by a group of very pleasant young people and a great experience. You will have to walk a bit and climb stairs, but it is very mich worth it: we found that simply sitting at the window with a glass of port can compete with many bars. Do not expect absolute silence - you will hear the cruise boats' security instructions around 9:30 in the morning. Overall reasonably quiet for such an extremely central place. Very highly recommended.
