We enjoyed our stay in this apartment. It has everything needed for a short stay and is close to a metro station and small convenience store. We thought that Vila Nova da Gaia was a great neighbourhood to stay in - close enough to the centre of Porto to walk to, but across the bridge and a bit quieter than being in the centre. Just note that the apartment doesn't have a lot of natural light as it is partly at basement level. However, it is brightly decorated and clean.
