Gil was very nice and welcoming. The apartment is immaculate and beautifully decorated. The view of the river in the photos of this flat is not a lie--it is incredible. Everything in the apartment is top-notch.

The neighborhood has a few cafes, and a minipreco if you want to cook, but not much else. It's in Gaia, which is across the bridge from Porto proper. I enjoyed this a lot, because we got to walk across the Dom Luis I bridge a few times per day, which has the best view of Porto.

All in all, 10/10, would stay here again if I ever came back to Porto.
