This apartment is in a great location and is exactly as described. Rui is an amazing host. He was very thorough about showing us the apartment, but he excelled at describing the areas of both Porto and Vila de Gaia. We had been to Porto a couple of times before, but learned so much more from his explanations and recommendations of places to see and good restaurants to visit. Because of traffic, he was a little late meeting us at the apartment, but went out immediately and brought us a bottle of wine. It was so thoughtful, totally unexpected, and very much appreciated. On New Year's Eve, we were able to walk across the street to the hill overlooking the river and see all the fireworks displays around the city. We had both come down with colds by then, so it was great to only have to walk a short distance and be able to celebrate with a few thousand other revelers. On our next trip to Porto (which we are already planning), we will stay there again!
