The views from the back patio/terrace were out of this world. You can see the river and the beautiful bridge. Walk to the River in 2 minutes. Several great restaurants very close by. Our host did an incredible job walking us through all the different places we could check out with a Map of Porto that he left us. He recommended Taberna dos Mercadores which was the best meal we had while in Portugal. Such a great spot, it's small, so make reservations ahead of time.
