Mathias apartment is well equipped clean and comfortable. The view from his window is exactly as shown on site, an enjoyable spot for morning coffee or evening cocktail. It was an easy walk down the hill to the bridge, riverside and restaurant area . The walk back up the hill was quite doable for 4 reasonably fit seniors.
Mathias was out of country but was attentive & kept in touch by phone and text. His colleague Paula met us for checkin which was simple.
From Gaia we toured by car and visited Porto, the Douro valley, northern Portugal, Arouca and countless small villages.
We enjoyed our first stay in Portugal!
