The apartment is in a great location in Gaia--close enough to the river to reach port wine cellars and restaurants, but far enough up the hill to make us feel like locals living in the neighborhood. The apartment has a back door access to an alley that comes out higher on the hill, saving us considerable uphill climbing when we were going to the metro, the upper bridge, and the market. The views from the Gaia side are beautiful, and we often sat on the little balcony, looking down on the street scene and sipping wine in the afternoon. The apartment is very well set up--Plenty of hot water, modern appliances, comfy beds, attractively decorated, and super clean. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
