The house is located in a tranquil residential area. It may not be close to the tourist spots, but there are all we need in the proximity. Cafes, restaurants, supermarkets (Pingo Doce, Corivan, Aldi) , train station (Madalena), buses to Porto and centre of Vila Nova de Gaia (901, 906, 33, 35), all in walking distances.
I enjoyed my 2-month stay there very much. The house is as beautiful as it is shown in the photos, and it is clean and tidy. Highly recommended.
