Location is exactly as it looks in the photos, you can sit on the sofa and watch the boats go by on the river, yours Porto was very responsive and easy to get hold of . Can be noisy at the weekends as you are right in the heart of the action , restaurants , bars etc and you can also see and hear all the action from Gaia , a quick water taxi or a stroll across the bridge gets you to the port houses etc on the other side . Everything we needed was in the apt including a washing machine , a cool experience but busy area
