My husband and I are traveling for a month seeing as much of Portugal as we can. I ran into the Galerias Apartment listing on VRBO and liked the look and feel of the ad. We booked it, and stayed 3 nights. Honestly, it was the best decision! The Galerias Apartment is beautifully decorated with good quality fine furniture and lovely accessories. We enjoyed 2 bedrooms, the living room, the dining room, and making a few homemade meals in the well supplied kitchen. After days and days of restaurant eating, having a kitchen was fantastic! With two weeks on the road, we used the washing machine and hung our clothes out to dry on the small patio.
The owner Paulo met us at the apartment when we arrived to give us directions on using the apartment, along with great directions on using the bus system. We could take the bus easily which was right outside the door to the apartment building. We parked our car in the underground apartment garage (no cost!) and used the bus or taxi during our stay. Recommended as the traffic was super busy & crazy. A note about Paulo: Paulo will go the extra mile with whatever help you may need. A simple phone call, and he was there for us. He is a sincere, honest, and trusting man. We liked him alot and are so happy we got to work with him and rent this fabulous apartment. We highly recommend this beautiful apartment. When we return to Porto, we will again rent from Paulo...no question! Now quick, rent this apartment before someone beats you to it!
