Absolutely fantastic location! The apartment is small but well designed and well equipped (we even cooked roast chicken!). The thoughtful touch of port and chocolate was very much appreciated as we watched life on the river, along the banks/cais of both Porto and Gaia and over the massive bridge. We were surprised how busy it all was - it was the first week in Sept, but we hadn't realised that Porto is one of the top tourist destinations in Europe at the moment. It was a wonderful atmosphere to live in and great base from which to explore both Porto and Gaia and we would stay again. However, these advantages come at a bit of a cost (we only mention them here because it's good to be forewarned): some night time noise on the street below (we were grateful for the air conditioner so we could close the wonderful windows), very steep stairs to the apartment and initial access issues which had us driving around in circles in the busy, narrow, steep roads (police initially wouldn't allow us into the street the apartment is on, which was restricted mostly to pedestrians ... but Liana was quickly responsive to our phonecall and helped us explain to the police the necessity to drop off our luggage). It was important to have the free parking in the nearby multi-storey carpark because a car is such a hindrance in this area.
I repeat we would stay here again, one can't have such great location with some complications. Many thanks to Liana and her friends in the cafe below.
