Miguel and Joanna’s place is really close to all amenities in Gaia and Porto, only a ten minute walk to the pont Luis 1 bridge and also 5-10 minutes to the best Port cellars around Porto. Joanna gave us great suggestions of tours in the city, and went out of her way to recommend and organise a day out tour for us in the Douro valley by putting us in touch with Mandala travel, which was an unforgettable experience. The apartment is great for a family of 8 people or friends, very well equipped. Though to be noted: as it comes with great views, it also sits on a busy road in Gaia, that goes into Porto. Which means that it is quite noisy with the trafic, especially early in the morning when there is no traffic jam, as people tend to drive quite fast. So come with earbuds, or choose to sleep in the bedrooms at the back of the apartment that are very quiet. Apartment was very clean, and so close to the market in Gaia that we did not bother to buy any food, and just went out to lunch/dinner at the covered market every day. Take a bike ride to the Furrada (? Not sure if spelling) - fishmonger village about 4-5 km away, and enjoy the beach. The apartment is really central to many great experiences. Try the 7g coffee shop and the Da Terra vegan restaurant in the Gaia covered market place. Great spots!
