Gorgeous views, phenomenal host

The apartment is exactly as advertised with gorgeous views from both sides of the apartment, which has a terrace on one side and a smaller deck on the other. While compact, it doesn't feel cramped and it has automated shutters if the sun gets to be too much. It is in a fantastic location, just across the bridge from Porto on the main drag of Gaia. We preferred this area because it is close to everything but not as crowded/touristy as Porto. The apartment has everything needed for a short stay, including a washing machine. With two elderly people in our party, we were a bit concerned about the tub/shower, but both managed just fine. Note that there are several steps to get up to the building entrance, so the apartment may not suit those with more severe mobility issues, but there is an elevator from the lobby to the apartment. The only drawback we experienced was that our party found the mattresses to be slightly uncomfortable, but this may not be an issue for others. Helena was a wonderful and responsive host, including dropping everything on a Saturday to come rescue us when the key got stuck in the lock. On the whole, we greatly enjoyed our stay at the penthouse in Gaia.

Über den Dächern von Porto

Es ist eine großartige Ferienwohnung in sehr zentraler Lage. Trotz dieser zentralen Lage ist es dank der Vierfach-Fensterverglasung ruhig. In wenigen Minuten erreicht man die Se Kathedrale ebenso wie die Portweinkeller von Vila Nova de Gaia. Von dieser gut ausgestatteten Ferienwohnung haben wir fast 3 Wochen lang Porto und Umgebung erkundet. Dank den wenigen Metern zu allerlei Haltestellen ist man im nu an den schönen Stränden von Espinoh, Francelos oder Miramar. Mit der Andante Card war es ohne Schwierigkeit gut möglich. Bei einem längeren Aufenthalt sollte man auf jedenfall die einheimische Variante der Andante Karte kaufen. Kontakt zu Helena war unkompliziert und sie war sehr hilfsbereit. Wir haben es als Familie mit zwei Kindern sehr genossen. Für uns war die Wohnung mit tollem Ausblick so optimal, dass wir auf jeden Fall wiederkommen werden.

Great location and exceptionally nice accommodation

The location of this apartment is fantastic - right next to a metro stop and with a supermarket and bakery opposite. The apartment itself was spotlessly clean and well equipped. The view from the bedroom balcony was great! Thank you for a great stay.

Amazing view from Gaia

This property is as advertised. Super clean, lot's of room and a small but yet complete kitchen. The font balcony is great in the morning and gives you a feel for the city life. The back balcony. Well, let's just say we spent 90% of our time there. Amazing view of porto, the river and of course the sunset. We preferred this side of the river as it was not so busy and were able to walk to porto across the bridge is less than 10 minutes. Many great restaurants walking distance from the apartment as well as a full size grocery store. We highly recommend this property when visiting this area. And the host is super nice and responsive as well.
