The apartment is fantastic with the whole building having been renovated, and is in keeping with the original build showing exposed granite walling within the apartment. It's a renovation well done, comfortable, & we slept exceptionally well while we were there.
The location of the apartment is in an area prime for development.It's a short walk to the Luis bridge & a short walk to the opposite side of the river to Jardim Do Morro. Sao Bento station is also located close to the apartment.The river Douro is a walk downhill to the Riberia area, next to the river, and on the same side of the river as the apartment. You can take a cable car up to Jardim Do Morro from the southern side if you've crossed the bridge on its lower level.
So a good location but with all city's built on hills you have to be prepared to walk back up!
