The apartment was in a very central position in Porto with a wonderful view of the river and Pont Luis bridge from the balcony. Everything we wanted to see and do was within walking distance. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment and the lounge/dining area was very comfortable. Check in went smoothly even though we were earlier than we originally said. Thank you for a lovely stay in Porto.
