Júlias Place is beautifully situated in the historic center of Villa Nova de Gaia. We received a very warm welcome and Julia showed us from the parking lot to the apartment. She told us everything we needed to know. We were greeted with a bottle of the famous port and some snacks!
Parking the car:
Júlia managed for us a perfect guarded parking lot 3 minutes walk from the apartment. Driving into the historic center is not permitted for non-residents. If you follow google maps: stop at the parking lot next to the steep, small road, about 2min before arrival) It was well guarded day and night and we didn't have to pay for it.
Location:
Nicely situated in the hills of Gaia. You have only a few minutes' walk to all major places such as the bridge to Porto or the Port Wine Caves. The living room is on the ground floor, the bedroom on the 1st floor. The street is in front of the apartment, but it wasn't very noisy. There aren't many cars because of the historic center.
The apartment:
It was very clean and well equipped, with a good kitchen, washing machine, and a nice bathroom. Lots of details that make it a homely feeling.
