We can not recommend this beautiful apartment enough; it is exactly as the pictures show, spotless, with everything you would need. The garden area is great at the start or end of day, the bed comfortable, the kitchen well stocked and a bottle of port in the fridge as well! It is located in the historic centre, with some great restaurants and a square at the end of Rua da Flores which often has some music playing. Its is very easy to walk to the Riberia, the Port lodges and all the sights from the apartment. There is a nice bar on the right a few shops down. However, as it is at the back of the building, the only noise you will hear is if any other guests are going up and down the stairs, which is not too bad. There is no street noise. Modesto is very friendly, relaxed and full of good local knowledge. He arranged for Carlos to collect us from the airport, which was very reasonable, and included the Carlos guided tour on the journey! Modesto met us at the apartment to show us everything and help with any questions. We did not stay long enough and so on our return, we will most definitely stay here again, if its available.
