This place was absolutely stunning. The views of Porto itself and walkability to downtown Gaia were just awesome. We really couldn't get over the views: we watched so many tourist river boats go up and down and saw so much water that in the end we never felt the need to take a boat (beyond the water taxi across to Porto, which is well worth the three euro for a hilariously short boat ride).
Patricia was responsive and super nice. In the end we were SO glad we stayed in Gaia instead of Porto itself: it's walkable to the port houses and some awesome restaurants, and the view of Porto is really unrivaled. It was so relaxing and gorgeous. We took the water taxi over to Porto, and it's a lot more crowded over on that side. We also enjoyed walking around Gaia to find the street art!
We'd 100% stay here again.
