March 2019, 3 ladies in our mid-30's: My River Place is an excellent location on the Gaia side of the Duoro River. It's about half way up to the bridge so you can walk down to the river front quickly, or walk up towards the monastery in just a few minutes. A few minute walk to the port wine cellars. And just across the bridge from the heart of Porto. Pedro's place is very spacious with all basic amenities. Pedro is an excellent host leaving us with many suggestions including restaurants, day trips, walking tour options, and grocery. We could not find the dryer as advertised but were able to hang wet clothing on a rack. Strong WiFi.
