Great communication w/manager. Elevator (yay!). Could have used more towels. Washer/dryer combo (we did not use). Basic plates, cups, mugs, utensils. Could have used a platter, a pitcher and a rubber spatula. Loved having 2 bedrooms w/king (double beds pushed together) & twin beds in 2nd bedroom. Nice hot water, great water pressure. Coffee maker, electric hot water kettle & microwave all in great condition. Close to river, but no view from inside apartment. Very hilly city (which we loved) - train & metro both close by (less than 10 minute walk). Grocery store couple doors down & plenty of places to eat, buy pastries, etc. close by. Loved the outlets & ledges by beds for electronics.

The apartment is in the Ribeira district and we had an easy stroll to the river and all the restaurants that line the river walk. It is a lovely, quiet apartment with a well equipped kitchen. The only problem we had was that there were no instructions for the washing machine. We couldn't get it to fill with water.

A lovely flat, just up the road from the Douro itself and right in the centre of the Ribeira district, close to the station. A good Fado club diagonally opposite and a Spar a few meters away. Tastefully decorated living room; big comfortable double bed in Bed 1 and 2 singles in the (windowless) Bed 2. Lovely shower room, plus washing machine, dishwasher, coffee maker and oil fired rads for colder nights. My only negative was the limited selection of kitchen equipment - only one blunt knife, no bread knife or paring knife and a rather small frying pan making it difficult to cook at home.

The communication with the property management company was excellent and they thought of everything to help us feel welcome. The property was very comfortable, very clean and in a brilliant central location. Excellent in every way.

Wonderful stay. Great communication, perfect central location, and the unit was as pictured. Stayed as a family of 4 and everyone loved our stay.
