Wonderful place to stay in Gaia

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,

Views and location - Loft Apartment

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.

The View

What a view from the balcony. Super clean. The Gaia side of the river had more going on than I expected. Don’t miss the sunset by the top of the bridge.

Excellent location!

We had a great stay, the location was perfect for us. Close to our activities, airy, big windows, and the view from the balcony was an absolute treat, any time of the day, rain or shine! The host was very responsive, we had some extra requests and they accommodated us -thank you! It would be tough for someone with motility issues, as there is no lift and a few stairs flights. If you're ok with stairs, I highly recommend this place. I'd love to come back to Porto /Gaia, and when we do, I'd love to stay here again.

Stunning VRBO in Porto (Gaia)!

This VRBO exceeded our expectations. It is an absolute gem with a view to die for. We stayed there for three days and the location is so fantastic. Right in the heart of the "Wow" district where they have a number of the best Port and Wine tasting rooms in Porto. They are all within a block. The unit is no the top floor of the building with a large patio that has uninterrupted views of Old Porto from across the river in Gaia. Everything is very walkable to tour all the highlights of Porto including the docks for the water tours which a block away.

Great apartment and location, however

We enjoyed our 2 night stay and the apartment itself was in excellent condition and very comfortable. The only drawback we encountered was parking. The recommended lots were full and we ended up driving around until we found a lot with available space. The cost was 25 euros/day which we originally had not planned to pay when booking.

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!

Perfect location

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!

Great Porto Location

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.
