Diogo’s Place was exactly what we needed. The location was perfect and I’m so glad we stayed across the river from Porto. The balcony and windows provided spectacular views of the city that we wouldn’t have enjoyed if we hadn’t been looking at it from across the river. There is plenty to do on the Nova de Gaia side, while still being only a short walk across the Ponte Louis I to Porto. Jose met us at the apartment and showed us where to park our large American mini van (a huge plus, as parking is often stressful on ancient streets). He helped us unload our luggage and carry it up the stairs. The apartment is tastefully decorated and has all the conveniences for a comfortable stay. The bedrooms are on the street side, so bring your earplugs if street noise bothers you. But it was worth it to have the amazing views and convenient location. Jose also had a bottle of Port wine and a plate of pastel de natas waiting for us when we arrived. We will definitely stay here again if we’re lucky enough to return to Porto.
