Perfect location! We recommend anyone consider Gaia as an alternative to staying in Porto— just a few minutes away on foot over the bridge to Porto, beautiful views along the way.
Keep in mind that the apartment is quite small and you have to be comfortable going up a steep ladder to the bedroom loft. We left our suitcases in the little living room on the main floor, but otherwise has everything you need (except a coffee maker!).
The apartment is in an old building. It is very clean, has been nicely restored inside, but there are still some obvious limitations, like the lack of ventilation in the bathroom, and the resulting humidity might be the reason for the ant population.
As promised, the view from the little balcony is stunning, fantastic!
Communication and check in process were both very good.
And thank you for the welcome bottle of Port.
