If you are going to Porto, this is the place to stay! The location is perfect for exploring both Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia on foot, or an easy taxi or Uber ride to see the sights.
The views from the front of the apartment are spectacular; and from the back you can see the beautiful gardens of the neighbors.
Everything was extremely clean and organized in the apartment. Jose met me at the house exactly as arranged, and his wife gave me a warm hug. You can't ask for a better reception than that.
Also, there was a bottle of port and three delicious pastries waiting for us - we really appreciated those! Highly recommend.
