If you want to see phenomenal views of Porto from this side of the Douro, and be right in the middle of PORT country, this is the place to stay. Can't say enough about how perfect this apartment is as your home base for a visit to the beautiful city of Porto. Even though it is a 3rd-floor walk-up, it is well worth the location and views. Highly suggest you give it a try, as the Porto experience for a reasonable price was extraordinary!

Perfect location

Check in was seamless and what a lovely studio awaited us at the top of the stairs. Gaia is just across the river and we had a beautiful view of Porto from the balcony. Comfortable bed & linens, spacious bathroom, solid WiFi and plenty of hot water. Very enjoyable stay!

Great Porto Location

The apartment was clean, nicely appointed and very comfortable for two. The location allowed for walking to local restaurants and tourist attractions as well. We choose to UBER to a few attractions which was very easy and not expensive. I highly recommend the apartment and plan to stay there when we return.

The perfect spot for a breathtaking view. Very clean apartment, outstanding balcony, and a great location. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to experience Porto. You can reach almost anything you would want to see in a 30 minute or so walk from the apartment & bonus of being close to everything in Gaia!

Lovely views, great balcony. A little awkward to access Porto itself (and back) without public transport or steep climbs each way.Nice small studio, but very minimally equipped kitchen area.

Amazing view of Porto

This apartment was exactly what we were looking for! We loved sitting on the balcony with our glass of wine and taking in the gorgeous view of Porto. Restaurants and the boardwalk by the river were within a one minute walk, and we took uber rides when we wanted to go to Porto, so the location was very convenient. The apartment had a large comfortable bed, nice big bathroom and shower. We had a great stay here and would highly recommend it!

Wonderful place to stay in Gaia

Super clean, very well maintained, close to the river but quiet. You can relax on the terrace with a river view or go and explore busy streets in proximity. Comfy bed, the hosts really takes care about the place. Clear and accurate communication including all access / network access details. Highly recommended,

Views and location - Loft Apartment

Would recommend when visiting Porto for vies and location, easy parking. Keyless entry great idea. Worth noting there are three flights of stairs to the loft, we were aware and it was well worth the effort.

This loft apartment actually undersells itself - it is superbly located, has the most amazing view and has everything you could want. The views are best enjoyed from the full length balcony and floor to ceiling windows which was an amazing surprise.

Gorgeous views and comfortable stay

Lovely place right in the heart of Gaia and very close to Porto across the river. The space was clean and the views from the balcony were wonderful. Everything was very comfortable. Communication with the host could have been better. There were a few times I reached out and did not receive a quick (if any) response, but other than that, we had a wonderful stay here.
