We had a fabulous stay in Porto and one of the highlights was undoubtedly the stunning river view from this very stylish apartment in Nova Gaia. Our host was very responsive and flexible - we really appreciated being able to drop off our luggage at the apartment earlier than our check in time which allowed us to go exploring immediately and make the most of our visit. For us the apartment was ideally placed, a pleasant 25 minute walk along the river bank to the hustle and bustle of the Ribiera and the old centre of Porto. And we were also able to take the cable car from Nova da Gaia to reach the historic sights if we didn’t fancy the steep hike upwards from the Ribiera. Would highly recommend a visit to Casario restaurant on the river front. As with many of the best Porto restaurants you will need to book in advance. Sadly we were too late trying to book others we had wanted to try. From the apartment you are also well placed to visit the fishing village of Afurada, where you can try one of the many fish restaurants. It is only a 20 minute walk from the apartment and unlike Porto this is quieter and less touristy. We had a fun evening here. Everywhere we went we found the people helpful and friendly. All in all a great trip and a wonderful apartment.
