We stayed in Manuel’s cousin house in Villa Nova de Gaia. The room was exactly as shown in the pictures. For the price it was ok. Manuel’s cousin, Paulo, was really nice to us, always asking if we needed something. He also gave us big privacy, although it was a room in a house.
2 problems: one is that the room still had their clothes, so we couldn’t use any wardrobe.
The other bad thing was that, although it’s true it’s 20 walk to the city center, you have to go through the Luis bridge. It might be fun during the day, because of the great views you get of Porto, but you have to climb up hills if you visited la Ribera or the wineries at the Riviera
