Liana's apartment is the perfect spot for visiting Porto and the Douro River! Having done it both ways, being on the Gaia side is better because you get the view of beautiful Porto from over here and the views from this apartment are great. The apartment is near many restaurants, cafes, boat tours, and shops. Porto is a quick walk across the Ponte Luis bridge. We had our dog with us and there was a nice park just a few blocks away, as well as the waterfront promenade. It was also nice having two bedrooms and two bathrooms, as well as a designated living/dining area.
