We had an enjoyable 4 days Brigite’s place. The unit is on the 7th floor with a lift and has a wonderful view down the river which can be seen from the living area and the bedroom. It is in a great location with metro stop Jardim do Morro close by as well as bus stops. You can take a train trip to Aveiro from General Torres train station which is within easy walking distance near General Torres metro station. The waterfront areas on both sides of the river are also an easy walk. We were there over a weekend and the waterfront at Gaia was certainly the place to be for eating, drinking, strolling or taking a boat ride.
The hosts were very responsive, flexible and easy to communicate with. Brigite met us at the unit and made sure we knew how things worked. The unit is modern and well-outfitted with a good bed and shower. The owners have gone to some trouble to make it aesthetically pleasing. There is a small balcony with a table and 2 chairs that we used to have a drink and watch the city lights. The soundproofing is good in the unit. The dogs in the area are very noisy barking constantly but with the doors closed, this was not a problem. Luckily there was air-conditioning which worked well. The lounge/dining room area is quite compact. The lounge is comfortable for two people but the dining table and chairs are in a pretty squeezy corner which might be a problem if you were on the larger size. However, there is a coffee table you could use to eat from.
We really enjoyed the unit and the area and would stay there again if we returned to Porto.
