this place is across the river from Porto and offers beautiful views of the city. don't the the fact that the apartment isn't inside of Porto scare you! it's only a 5 min walk from the most beautiful places in Porto and it's within splitting distance from the port wine cellars. to be honest I would 100% prefer to stay in vila nova de Gaia over Porto. Pedro was there at check-in and he was great. he provides maps of the city along with a personalized tour of the city so you can hit all of Porto's most touristic spots, along with the best restaurants that the city has to offer. we only had a couple days in Porto and with Pedro's tips, we were able to get the best of it all.
