This apartment was located in a great part of Gaia. However, it was up 3 flights of stairs and no elevator. My fault I should have researched it more. It took us 2 days to get a second set of keys. Our view was looking into the back of a building. It was a waterfront property but no view. The balcony was small & nothing to look at. The apartment had everything you need & was very nice. The parking was crazy, we parked up the street a few blocks and then uber back to our car.No fault of the property. They were fair.

Location is hard to beat. There is a wine bar literally downstairs that is quaint, affordable and high end in terms of quality and flavor. Overall the apartment is in a great spot with great access to all you need to enjoy Porto.Rooms and space was clean. It was spacious enough for two adults, potentially two couples - if you need space, I would limit to 4 adults.This was the top floor (no elevator) so if stairs are an issue be fore warned.
