Property was just as it was described. Perfect location for our first time visiting Porto! The view from the balcony was incredible, the bed was comfortable, and the apartment had all the conveniences needed for a week long stay. We had a wonderful holiday. Thank you for sharing your home!!
The view from this awesome gem of a place was incredible!! We loved staying in close proximity to everything but in the crazy hustle and bustle of the other side of the river,Comfy bed, great amenities. Would absolutely come back!
If you want to see phenomenal views of Porto from this side of the Douro, and be right in the middle of PORT country, this is the place to stay. Can't say enough about how perfect this apartment is as your home base for a visit to the beautiful city of Porto. Even though it is a 3rd-floor walk-up, it is well worth the location and views. Highly suggest you give it a try, as the Porto experience for a reasonable price was extraordinary!
The apartment had a n absolutely breathtaking view. A fabulous location! It was a perfect place to stay. Having breakfast or dinner out on the patio was great!
Excellent location for Port tastings and for enjoying Porto! The balcony was fantastic! It was our favorite stay in Portugal! Definitely our first choice for Porto stays! Quiet location, but easy access to everything.
Check in was seamless and what a lovely studio awaited us at the top of the stairs. Gaia is just across the river and we had a beautiful view of Porto from the balcony. Comfortable bed & linens, spacious bathroom, solid WiFi and plenty of hot water. Very enjoyable stay!
The apartment was clean, nicely appointed and very comfortable for two. The location allowed for walking to local restaurants and tourist attractions as well. We choose to UBER to a few attractions which was very easy and not expensive. I highly recommend the apartment and plan to stay there when we return.
The perfect spot for a breathtaking view. Very clean apartment, outstanding balcony, and a great location. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to experience Porto. You can reach almost anything you would want to see in a 30 minute or so walk from the apartment & bonus of being close to everything in Gaia!
Perfect location. Frosty cold air con - much needed! Comfy bed, great shower. Appreciated the coffee tea. Loved the enormous balcony. Would definitely recommend
This apartment was exactly what we were looking for! We loved sitting on the balcony with our glass of wine and taking in the gorgeous view of Porto. Restaurants and the boardwalk by the river were within a one minute walk, and we took uber rides when we wanted to go to Porto, so the location was very convenient. The apartment had a large comfortable bed, nice big bathroom and shower. We had a great stay here and would highly recommend it!
Lovely views, great balcony. A little awkward to access Porto itself (and back) without public transport or steep climbs each way.Nice small studio, but very minimally equipped kitchen area.
Super clean, very well maintained, close to the river but quiet. You can relax on the terrace with a river view or go and explore busy streets in proximity. Comfy bed, the hosts really takes care about the place.
Clear and accurate communication including all access / network access details.
Highly recommended,
Would recommend when visiting Porto for vies and location, easy parking. Keyless entry great idea. Worth noting there are three flights of stairs to the loft, we were aware and it was well worth the effort.
