The location was great, it’s right at the center of Riberia for a fraction of the price. A plus for having available parking to drop off the car and walk everywhere! It’s perfect for the location. The room needs a little update, perhaps the carpet needs to go, otherwise it was great !

Everything was great except too wordy instructions to enter into the apartment. If you have a car to park and unload luggage it is very hard because you just have to park on the road without any shoulders, hardly impossible to think to park there for a minute. If you use public transportation, this is a great place to stay. Good location, great view, very clean. Bathroom shower door need to be fixed. Every time you shower, water is all over the floor.

This was a truly unique and amazing place to stay. I would definitely recommend it to anyone staying in Gaia. The views from the room are incredible and it is perfectly located. The shower is a tad small for me (5’11” 210lbs) however it worked and the rest of the room easily offset any downsides.

The view alone is worth the price. Great location with walking distance to attractions and the riverside walk. Owners are super kind with quick responses and the room was very clean. I'd not hesitate to book here again for my next visit to Porto.

Even though there are no elevators in this building, going up the stairs to the 3rd floor was well worth it. I call it the stairway to heaven. The view is well worth the climb. Apartment was very clean, had ample hot water, and tons of supplies to make our stay comfortable. This venue is a hidden gem. We would definitely stay here again.

What makes this property is the location. We stayed on the first floor and the view from the kitchen window is great. Very walkable to restaurants, shops, wine cellars, etc. The steps are steep, the door is narrow and the shower is minuscule but that’s all ok and worth it. Would recommend and stay again if coming back to Oporto.

Great location specifically if you’re visiting Porto for the first time, everything is walking distance from apartment.stairs are really tough to climb or go down specially with luggage but honestly this is the case with most of Porto so many stairs to climb and lots uphill walking to most attractions.

Fantastic location overlooking the river, with excellent restaurants within a few 100 metres on the riverside. Very easy to get across the river on both lower and upper levels of the bridge. Oustatnding communication from the hosts, and the secure parking is only a few 100 metres away so very easy indeed. We loved our time in the partment, and would most certainly stay gain if we ever return to the wonderfil city of Porto. 5* indeed

I had a wonderful stay at the riverside apartment. The location is perfect. Close to everything. We walk every where. I would give this review a 10 if if was quiet at night. There is construction going on from 11 pm till 3am. I have photo and video to prove it. Anyway, overall I love the place. I will definitely recommend to friend and family.

The third floor apartment has quite possibly the most amazing view from any property I've stayed at in 20 years of international travel. The apartment is in an amazing location, just minutes from the Av. de Diogo Leite on the south bank of the Douro River and all of its restaurants and Port bars. The apartment has everything one would need including small kitchen. The apartment is small, suitable to only two people at most. As mentioned in other reviews, the stairs to the top are steep and narrow, something to keep in mind if mobility and/or heavy luggage are an issue
