This apartment is huge and stylish, perfectly located on the river, right above an amazing restaurant with gorgeous grilled fish. The clubs across the river in Gaia can be a little loud on the weekend but the shutters on the balcony doors block the sound out completely so that it's possible to enjoy the fabulous river ambiance and at the same time block it out when you want something more quiet. Truthfully, I think I can not offer high enough praise for the apartment, its amenities, location, and sense of security and flexibility. AND Rui is amazing, communicative, helpful, responsive, and generous beyond what one can normally expect (and his dog is fabulous). Of course I want to stay in Rui's apartment when and if I ever visit Porto again! Truly a wonderful experience.
