This was an amazing, clean, and central location right in the heart of the old city. Fantastic views, easy to get around, and felt quite safe (don’t let the unassuming alleys fool you). The location was perfect for exploring both the Porto and Gaia sides of the Douro River. We visited in mid October and noise from the nearby attraction was not an issue.
We discovered a nearby restaurant called Português de Gema, which was fantastic, highly recommend the Cod with Cornbread.
