The place was great- spacious and comfortable, and the location would be difficult-to-impossible to beat. Easy to drop down to the riverside either in Gaia or Ribera, but more important, easy to stay up on the upper-bridge level and visit sights without having to climb to them!
Very easy access to public transportation, although we never used it because walking was so enjoyable.
Most impressive were the hosts- Paulo and Maria were great communicators in advance, and incredibly helpful on arrival, with Paulo going above and beyond to help us with the parking, show us (by walking there with us) a great place to eat, and providing us with loads of information- much of it clearly personalized for us- about the city, the São João festival, and other things to do. We had no needs at all during our stay, but I am quite sure that if we had they would been addressed effectively and efficiently.
Thank you for a great stay!
