Alvaro is a wonderful host and left us many provisions. The apartment is well organized and equipped. I particularly liked the hanging clothes rack on the balcony. The location in Gaia is across the river from Porto but there is a bus close by and grocery stores/cafes in walking distance but a bit further away (an uphill walk).Get a metro/bus card with 10 rides the first chance you get.It was pleasant to stay away from the tourist center and I would definitely recommend staying here to my friends.
