A college friend and I stayed here May 1-3, 2022, to celebrate our 60th birthdays. The apartment was well-appointed and immaculate. The beds were very comfortable with nice linens, which was welcome since we were mostly there in the evenings to sleep. Our primary goal was to walk the city as much as possible. We particularly enjoyed a guided walking tour of the Vila Nova de Gaia were the port cellars are.
The apartment is convenient to a supermarket (2 blocks) and many wonderful cafes. This made it easy to have a light breakfast in the apartment and enjoy cheese and crackers (with wine, of course!) in the evening. Our hosts provided a complimentary bottle of port, which we also enjoyed. (Thank you!) They also provided several bottles of good wine for purchase, which was very thoughtful. There’s a nexpresso machine with pods for a morning jolt.
This apartment is very centrally located and we could walk everywhere we wanted to go. The first floor bedroom was on a noisier street, but not too bad. If we return to Porto, we would definitely stay here again!
