This is a fantastic place to stay with a fantastic host. The garage parking for the car relieved any anxiety i had about driving in a big city. You could not ask for a better location. The Gaia side of the river allows you the view of Porto without the traffic or noise. Beautiful walk across the bridge to all the sites. Very close to all the Port Houses. As a bonus the host has a shop with the best prices on Port. Makes shopping very easy. Follow all her recommendations on everything. Cant say enough about this wonderful stay. The apartment was newly renovated and very comfortable.
