Wonderfully stylish and well-designed space. The building has an ancient stone font set into the exterior wall at street level which, with the well worn stone steps behind the front door, gives the building considerable charm. After such an ancient and traditional entrance, it's a revelation to enter the spotlessly clean, bright, white apartment on the top floor which has a fantastic modern shower and a beautifully equipped kitchen and one where every single inch of space has been thoughtfully and carefully designed. There are amazing views from many of the windows across the river to the colourful jigsaw of old buildings in the Ribiera, Clergios Tower and Baixa especially from the charming right hand terrace and the window next to the bed. It's only a few mins walk to great bars and restaurants in Gaia and an easy stroll to central Porto over the city's iconic bridge. Communication could not have been easier, Laura and Romain waited for us as our taxi driver from the airport was completely clueless and the complimentary port and pastries was a deliciously thoughtful touch. The area appears to be up and coming with many buildings in the locality being in the process of renovation which led to a little noise after 8am however this wad not a problem as there are so many great cafes, bars restaurants nearby for breakfast and a myriad of things to see and do in Porto, that it's a place to spend as much time exploring as possible. We had a wonderful time and would thoroughly recommend this flat.
