The view is amazing! And the location couldn't be better. We were able to walk easily across the bridge to Vila Nova da Gaia, rent bicycles from a shop a block away (vieguini
Bike and rental) and easily found taxis in the area as well. Lots of lovely places to eat within walking distance. Don't miss out on having a drink at the wine quay bar on the ground floor of the building. It's owned by the same family and they serve lovely cheeses, olives and hams in a tapas style. Although it's lively in the evening the wine bar shuts down by 11 so it didn't ever interfere with our sleep.
