If you are on the fence on booking this place, book it. It's perfect. Vila Nova de Gaia is the true Porto - all the wineries are on this side of the river, you will be on this side a lot already and this way you have the BEST view of Porto. We went to the Yeatman for dinner, and this balcony beats that view. It was super clean, sharing a kitchen was not a problem. Bruno was attentive and SO helpful. We will be back!!!!!!
