The apartment is spacious, clean, completely equipped with everything that one could possibly need. The views of Porto and the Douro from the apartment are wonderful. Restaurants, cafes, a small supermarket and pastry shops are all within walking distance. The metro station is about a 10-minute walk, however, a walk across the Ponte Louis 1 to Porto only takes 15 minutes. Your host Pedro is exceptional and it is quite obvious that he will do whatever is necessary to make your stay in 'My RiverPlace' enjoyable. One word of warning though, if you are elderly and have trouble navigating steps be aware that there are a number of flights to negotiate to reach the apartment. I would recommend this apartment as a super place for a holiday base.
