This studio was in a perfect location to visit Porto. We really enjoyed the proximity to the Douro river, the wine shops on the Villa Nova de Gaia side, and the free parking in a safe parking garage. It’s a 10-12 min walk across the bridge to the Porto side. Despite the many port shops nearby, the area was quiet at night. Best of all, Sónia was accessible at all times and met us when we arrived to show us the parking spot, etc. She works nearby, so our arrival time was flexible and we could meet her anytime to check-in.
The place itself is a bit shabby, but the proximity to downtown, the easy parking and Sónia as a great host more than make up for it.
