This sweet apartment is wonderful for a short or long-term stay in the Porto area.
Gaia is just across the river from Porto and is very easily accessed with a short walk or quick metro ride.
The apartment has no central heating but the host provides one plug-in heater. We were comfortable during our stay in the fall but it may get cold in the winter.
Loved the access to a clothes washer and the kitchen was well-stocked for cooking.
There are a few low-quality items (one of the closets had a broken drawer, one smelled of cigarettes and the paint over the tile in the bathroom easily chips) however, the apartment has the MOST incredible view. The well-stocked kitchen, comfortable layout, location and view made this place a 5* stay for us.
