The apartment is very centrally located . The Douro and many attractions are within walking distance . Shops , plenty of bars and cafés are in the immediate vicinity . The home is comfortably furnished . At night it was unfortunately often very loud but we then withdrew with the waiting folding mattress into the back room and were able to sleep well . Kalina is a very affectionate , courteous and friendly hostess . She has welcomed us when we arrived at midnight in person , and has always provided us with useful advice and tips . Many thanks
