Sep 19, 2024 #### Clean apartment and certainly worth the value Positive: Staff replied quickly when I asked question Clean apartment and certainly worth the value : Staff replied quickly when I asked questions about the booking. Beautiful and quiet location. Praia da lomba and the Rio Douro can be seen from the window/balcony in the living room and the window in the bedroom. Very clean apartment and certainly worth the value. Our GPS system led us to a different location/the other side of the road but by using Google Maps, which shows the correct location, and using the road next to the apartment as destination, we were able to find the house. ##### Senanu Yao W.
