The apartment was in the perfect location for celebrating New Year’s Eve--near the plaza, on a pedestrian-friendly street, filled with restaurants, shops and wine bars. Even though it is on a lively street the apartment was very quiet. The bed was comfortable and the place was very clean and modern. The view was beautiful. It is only a 15 minute walk (or less) to many of the major attractions: the Ribeira, the Sao Bento train station, the bridge to Vila Nova de Gaia, and the Livraria Lello. Our favorite restaurants were Bulha Bulhao, Portugues de Gema, and Taxca--also Portugues Maria on our day trip to Coimbra. We had a great start to our vacation by taking a Culinary Backstreets tour with Carine, where she brought us to many wonderful local eateries, including Gazela and Casa Guides. We would highly recommend staying here and look forward to returning. Filipa - Thanks for helping us celebrate with the bottle of champagne! Bom ano!
