Ideal city break

Great apartment with plenty of room for our two teens, with everything we needed including a welcome glass of port. Conveniently located between two metro stops, plenty of shops (Lidl 350m away) and restaurants nearby, and a short walk to Jardim Morro to watch the sunset. Sónia was welcoming, and on hand if we needed help.

Great stay near Porto!

Great apartment in Gaia, a short metro ride or walk to Porto. Sonia and her team communicated regularly, and check in was very easy. We even had a welcome bottle of Port! Apartment was well appointed and had a great location. We literally walk downstairs to the metro stop as well as walked to multiple Port lodges and the riverfront. Only issue was a very noisy family upstairs with small kids who decided get revved up after 12AM. But those things happen. Thank you again, Sonia, for the wonderful stay!

Perfect Porto Stay

This was the fourth place we stayed in during 3 weeks in Europe and, we all agreed, it was the best by far. Spacious, comfortable, clean, well-stocked with basic necessities, and with all the comforts of home. The apartment is on the fourth floor (with elevator) and has great views of the city and the Duoro river. When booking, I was a bit concerned that we weren't actually staying in Porto, but in Gaia. In fact, this was a plus. The immediate neighborhood had everything we could ask for - easy access to shopping, restaurants, and sightseeing possibilities. The tram/metro was a stone's throw away and only three short stops across the river and into Porto. (Actually walkable for those of us with no mobility issues)Our host, Sonia, was very accommodating. We were welcomed with samples of the area's famous port wine, and, later, Sonia texted us background information on the big Festival of St John the Baptist, which we were fortunate to witness the night before leaving Porto. Staying here was a perfect end to our vacation. Thanks Sonia!

Great Apartment Just Across the Douro.

Excellent vacation rental in a relatively uncrowded neighborhood of Villa Nova de Gaia across the Douro River and accesible to Douro by a quick walk (fifteen or twenty minutes - about a mile) over the super scenic main bridge to the Center of the City. Clean, spacious and comfortable. It's in an apartment building on a large avenue, so city noise can be heard at the front of the apartment but not at all from the bedrooms. Well equipped kitchen with multiple coffee makers and everything needed to fix breakfast or to spend an evening eating in. Two markets within a five minute stroll. Two baths with showers (one with a bidet!). One shower is European style: bathtub with a hand held shower - totally usable but may be an adjustment for Americans. The apartment has a washer, and a couple options to hang laundry. Linens and towels changed twice during our two week stay. Convenient in-building parking, though the space is small and very tightly angled by North American standards. Sonia and her colleagues were very responsive and helpful day and night. This is a great choice for groups of four to six.

Porto

Our host Sonia was very welcoming. She left a carafe of Port wine that was very good. We wanted more but decided that we would adventure out and taste different wines. Sonia is a very pleasant and caring person. She was our source for things to do and places to go. She was worried that the rain would spoil our visit to Porto but in spite of the rain we had a fantastic time. The apartment is located in a fantastic area - Camara Gaia. The metro stop is about 200 meters from the front entrance. It is easy to get the train to downtown Porto and back. The tour bus stops are right at the entrance of the apartment. Since we booked tours on the yellow line we were able to pick up the tour right at the entrance - stop 8 - to the apartment. We always took the train back to the apartment (a 10 to 15 minute ride depending on what station you got on) since the last tour bus leaves at 5PM (1700 hours) and we were out sightseeing after that time. There are numerous small cafes around the building with two located in the plaza of the building. The apartment had all of the necessities for our visit and many that we did not use. It even has a parking space which we used since we came via car. With the train running right in front of the apartment, we did not have any noise from the train passing. The windows in the apartment filtered out most of the sounds. It’s a 3 bedroom apartment with two bathrooms. One bathroom is in the master bedroom while the other is in the hallway. We had no complaints with the apartment other than the bathroom in the hallway. The bathroom in the hallway drains slowly. As such, when you use it you are essentially showering with your feet immersed in water. Also once someone has taken a shower, you have to wait a few minutes for the water to drain before someone else can shower. While we were told that the bathroom drained slowly by Sonia, it still was not what we expected. I hope that this is a problem that can be fixed because it is not a pleasant experience. But absent of this we will recommend the accommodation.

La nostra casa a Porto e non solo

Una casa accogliete, ben attrezzata ed in ottima posizione per visitare Porto e non solo. Puoi raggiungere il cuore della città in metropolitana, che ferma pochi metri da casa, o con una spettacolare camminata attraversando il ponte Dom Luis I. La sua posizione è favorevole anche per raggiungere facilmente in auto destinazioni fuori della città. Imperdibile la valle del Douro. Per chi come noi viaggia con un pulmino, fuori misura per il garage, nei pressi c’è un comodo parcheggio pubblico dal costo di 6 euro giornaliero.
