Best Gaia Location
We had an amazing time. Our host was wonderful. Grocery store was conveniently across the street. The tram/metro was a 5 minute walk to in Gaia and access to Porto. The convenience of porto tasting and coming home was perfect. Local restaurants were delicious and in walking distance. The best pastry/ice cream shop O Gato is at the apartment and highly recommend! Great location for everything. Apartment was large, great balcony, very clean, elevator and very comfortable. We have already discussed our return for a longer stay. Great for couples, friends and family. Thank you, Marcos!

Nova de Gaia Treasure
Superb modern flat across the Douro River from Porto. Well-furnished and had all the conveniences we needed. Easy access to Porto using public transportation. The tram stop is just up the street from the flat. Supermarket across the street. Our host Marcos was great! We hope to return to Portugal soon, and when we do, Porto will be on the itinerary again, hopefully with a stay at this flat again.

Great value and a great location
Marco was very hospitable and the location is great. Very close to the old part of Porto but just out of the busy crowds. Supermarket across the street is very convenient. The only negative was the lack of air-conditioning. The unit is on the 15th floor of a concrete building and so it heats up. We were there during a hot spell so this was noticeable. Otherwise a great stay.

Leave the car and visit Porto on foot
Large apartment. Beds were extremely comfortable. Could have done with information regarding what to see and where to empty the rubbish. The white covers on the settee and dining chairs really are impractical and look shabby. Fifteen minute walk from the river. Tram just outside and supermarket opposite. The rain and fog didn’t put us off. El Corte Ingles do tourist menu for €6.25. We were given the name of a restaurant just off the main tourist drag - the rainbow “‘ mostly locals eat here as did we twice.

Excellent
Spacious, bright and modern and apartment with very comfortable beds. Everything in perfect condition. Great view from the windows and the balcony. Only a short walk to the Dom João II metro station, which means that central Porto can be reached very easily. The car park in the basement works well and there is good access to the main roads, so also a convenient place from which to visit other places in northern Portugal. In summary: Highly recommended. Thanks also to Mr. Marcos for being so friendly and helpful.
