This is a lovely penthouse, studio apartment with a beautiful view of the Douro River. The neighborhood is quiet and it is a great place to come with a dog as one can walk along a nice path right across from the building. Very close to city center--10 minute walk. Hugo and his father were very nice. They met me on arrival and even saved a parking spot for me right out front, which was really convienent. I highly recommend this place. I would definitely stay here again.
