GuestReady - Gracious place to visit in Gaia

Welcome to my apartment!

This 88m2 welcoming space features open living and kitchen areas where guests can relax, watch TV, or prepare meals after exploring the city. Three balconies offer lots of sunlight and fresh air.

The fully-equipped kitchen offers essential cookware, a Nespresso machine, plenty of fridge space and seating for four – perfect for socializing and enjoying meals together.

The two bedrooms are modernly decorated, including new queen beds fitted with quality linens and plenty of storage. Both bedrooms have accompanying balconies with views of the historic Porto skyline.
The primary bedroom includes a spacious ensuite bathroom, while the secondary bedroom has access to a full bathroom right across the hallway.

Both showers feature luxury rain showerheads and curb-less entry. These bathrooms are outfitted with all the amenities you need to freshen up, including clean towels and complimentary toiletries. There is also a half-bathroom in the common space.

A small office with a desk, chair, and sitting area can be used to conduct business while you visit, as needed. The apartment offers high-speed internet suitable for conducting video conferences.

Please note that it is located on the 2nd floor without lift access, so it is not ideal for guests with reduced mobility. Feel free to use the covered parking spot included behind the building.

The apartment was located in a very steep hill. 1486 steps up from the waterfront tourist area. Luckily we have strong legs. The photos enclosed with check in instructions helped us find the garage parking next door. Finding the set of keys from the outside lockbox was easy- figuring out which key fit which door was not. It would help to label the keys or color code them. The apartment was close to Gaia & Porto sites and Metro stations. The air conditioning was very nice and beds were very comfortable.

Très bel appartement, spacieux, lumineux avec énormément de rangements. Chambres côté rue donc un peu bruyant.
