Yes the views are amazing, just like in the photographs. We loved our stay in Brigites's apartment, everything was clean and we had everything we needed. The overground Metro line was outside our front door, so you had just a 2 minute walk to the actual Metro stop. If you enjoy walking you don't even need the Metro, most places were very easy to get to on foot, little supermarket also just across the road. Porto is beautiful, crossing the bridge everyday was wonderful, waking up and going to sleep with the ever changing views from the balcony was amazing. Thanks for a great stay, we will certainly visit again.
