We took a chance and stayed at Gil's place even though he didn't have any reviews. This apartment exceeded our expectations and we would say here anytime we come to Porto. There were a few items that made it even better than expected. The location was fantastic. We within close walking distance to three metro stations and the Campanha train station. There was a bus stop in front as well. The apartment overlooked an interior courtyard. It was super quiet. We slept so well. The building and apartment are newly renovated and beautiful. The common areas are cleaned regularly. The elevator made it convenient to get our bags up to the first floor. Even though there isn't a washer in the apartment, there is a laundry located a couple buildings down the street. There is a Lidl and Continente grocery a block away and a wonderful fruit market at the end of the block. Gil was a fabulous host. This place is truly a gem. Highly recommended. Thanks Gil!
