Location: The location was walkable to absolutely everything! The street name “Rua de Tras” translates to “back street” so when looking for it, it’s an alley instead of a wide main street. Because of this, Uber will pick you up on the corner (short walk) down a hill in front of Starbucks.
This location is easily walkable to all of the main tourist attractions and neighborhoods within 1-15 minutes. I think it took me no more than 20 mins to walk from this place to the Vila Nova de Gaia port houses.
Laundry: If you travel light or are a pack rat, there is a full size washer and drying rack. There was also laundry pods available in the laundry closet.
Wifi: reliable and full bars the entire time.
Cooking: there was olive oil, salt, pepper, and sugar available, which is always nice. There was also enough espresso pods to last me the entire week I was visiting. Plenty of kitchen stuff to do basic cooking.
Extras: Welcome bottle of wine and umbrellas in the hallway was nice.
