Great apartment - central location in walking distance of lots of great restaurants. Terrace was fabulous! Overall apartment very modern design (newly refurbished), great kitchen with everything you need. Each room having its own bathroom is an excellent feature. Location is bout 10 mins walk to the river. In terms of day trips, I'd recommend getting the tram out to Foz for lunch on the beach and the train from Sao Bento out to the Douro valley.
