Claudia was an excellent host, and provides an excellent apartment that is provided with all of the amenities for a very comfortable stay. We loved having the espresso coffee maker and nice selection of coffee pods waiting available for our use. We were able to have breakfast every day using the nicely equipped kitchen, and also made use of the built-in washer/dryer. The apartment has been nicely upgraded with modern furnishings and is spotlessly clean throughout. The large (queen size) bed was super comfortable. The apartment is very centrally located in the heart of the historic district and within walking distance to all the tourist sites in town and restaurants. It was also only a short walk to the river-front or across the bridge to visit Vila Nova de Gaia. It is also only a short 10 minute walk to/from the local train station. We definitely would recommend it to other guests who want to stay in a historic location close to everything.
