Apartment with 2 bedrooms, balcony and river view - 4th floor Registration no. 5848/AL

Right on the river, great view.

Overall, the apartment is good. The location is excellent. However, it is noisy from 0700-0130 due to the restaurants, activities around this area. However, given the location one should not expect quiet and peaceful. With updated being and an apartment entrance door lock upgrade the apartment would be perfect.

Beautiful location right on promenade, very clean, attentive host, view from balcony of Douro River, Gaia, D. Luis Bridge was such a treat. We would all definitely stay here again!

Good stuff first: Right on the Douro River and absolutely beautiful!! Stunning!! Three windows open up to the view which is magnificent. The apartment is big with 2 great beds and the best pillows! The description in the listing is accurate. The not so good stuff: Parking is difficult, and must find parking at least .5 miles away. You have to walk with your cases to the apartment. This was Not clarified upon reservation. You are above several restaurants, below another rental and next to a full time resident with a small, barkie dog. Thankfully it is fairly quiet from 11pm to 9am, but beyond that is is full out noisy with strong music, people and just loud! The shower is a trickle of water. Everything feels kind of dirty. The host tries, but doesn’t speak great English and although she owns the building, does not live on-site. One morning, we were locked in the building as someone had dead bolted the lock and we were not given the key. We had to knock on doors in the building to get someone to let us out. Ok, it’s not to say we wouldn’t have stayed there, maybe not 5 nights, but 3? If you want the hustle and bustle and loud chaos, right in the very heart of it all, this is the place for you! Go for it!! If you are looking for something quiet, not so much.
