The apartment is beautiful, the furnishings are well maintained and everything was clean and tidy.
Important to let guests know previously that the Vila de Gaia is another city that is not Porto - eventhough it is very close to it. So it’s a little bit far to get to the center of Porto by walking. To visit most places we had to take a taxi, Uber or the metro, which is very close to the building. The avenue where the accommodation is located is not so beautiful, but the apartment offers a beautiful view of Porto. The kitchen is very well equipped with many more utensils than normally founded in other airbnb apartments: a large variety of new, clean and modern utensils. Great!!
The apartment is spacious and well decorated. Pedro was an excellent host, welcomed us very well and explained everything about the place, gave us a lot of tips and made himself totally available to help us. When we needed help, he answered promptly.
We had setbacks with the water heater that failed almost every time someone was to take a shower. We had to turn the heater on and off several times until it worked and, during the bath, the water temperature varied a lot, not always getting as hot as we expected. Another problem is that, for some reason, the living room and kitchen have a strong smell of food that probably comes from other apartments. Whenever we went out, we left all the windows closed and locked, even so, when we were back at the apartment, it had smell.
