This is a large place. Over 100 square meters. The location is perfect. Lots of restaurants and drinking places immediately close by. There is a washing machine and a fridge & freezer, but no dish washer or microwave. The balcony is worth its weight in gold - sunny most of the day and affording a stunning view of the Douro and Ribeira, and the bridges. Walk out the front door and take the river taxi to the opposite bank. I would stay here again without hesitation. The only downside didn't bother us - but its on the top floor of a 3 story building without an elevator. And I would take an HDMI cable next time to view DVD 's on the TV. Highly recommended.
