“Perfect riverside location”

Reviewed 29 Oct 2019

A wonderful location on the banks of the river with easy access to Porto city centre by tram or a 10 minute walk. The host met us and provided a wealth of information on the city's highlights. The accommodation was first class, full equipped with everything for a short stay. A small balcony over looking the river really was the icing on the cake. We have no hesitation is recommending this apartment and would gladly stay there again
