Balcony of Douro riverfronts - Vila Nova de Gaia
A Room with a View!!! Literally - I could not stop taking photos - morning, afternoon, evening, and even at night. It changes constantly with the light, the movement of boats and people, the seagulls...
Bruno and Susana have set up the small apartment beautifully. The location is great - we walked down to the riverside, to the Port wine caves, across the bridge... There are buses to the centre of Porto if you don't wish to walk so much. Just be warned that the "Calçada" is steep and about 300 (small) steps uphill from the base of the bridge. That said, if you are young and fit, it is absolutely perfect to go anywhere and everywhere.
This was only our second experience with Airbnb but I was very pleased with our choice. I highly recommend it, especially if you will be spending a few days in the area.
