Super comfortable bed, brilliant large shower and great location. 3 of my most important things!
Don't hesitate to book this place. Close to the Clerigos Tower, Harry Potter bookshop, fab churches and squares and a lot of really great restaurants and bars. About a twenty minute walk to the river and quayside all downhill.... and a climb back home. The apartment is on the second floor and there are about 50 steps up to the apartment but this did not bother us at all. Alexandra arranged Paulo to pick us up at the airport and he gave us a scenic route along the beachfront at Foz so we could get our bearings and it was a lovely way to see the Atlantic change into the Douro River!
What a fabulous City ...so much to do. The only thing in our opinion to miss was the Palace da Bolsa, we found the tour uninteresting with not much information. Our favourite and most delicious food was Nabos da Pucara nearby. Ooh and the hot chocolate in Cafe Majestic!! The best view from outside the Monastery in Gaia!
