Great little apartment in Gaia with an amazing view of the river and Ribeira. Lots of restaurants, bars, groceries, markets etc within east walking distance.
Getting to the Porto side you could walk across the bridge (15 minutes) or take a water taxi (3 euros, 5 minutes).
Apartment is on the 3rd floor. It’s an easy walk up, but there’s also an elevator which is kind of slow. The kitchen is well equipped with a Nespresso machine and all the basic equipment.
Bathroom has good water pressure in the shower, a bidet (always a plus), and a nice skylight.
Bed was comfortable, and we slept well. There is some noise that creeps in from the nearby bars (especially on weekends) but it’s not excessive.
The only issue we had was a small water leak from the apartment upstairs into our corridor but it was managed in coordination with Rafael who was very responsive and followed up well.
