Excellent location for Port tastings and for enjoying Porto! The balcony was fantastic! It was our favorite stay in Portugal! Definitely our first choice for Porto stays! Quiet location, but easy access to everything.

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,

This VRBO exceeded our expectations. It is an absolute gem with a view to die for. We stayed there for three days and the location is so fantastic. Right in the heart of the "Wow" district where they have a number of the best Port and Wine tasting rooms in Porto. They are all within a block. The unit is no the top floor of the building with a large patio that has uninterrupted views of Old Porto from across the river in Gaia. Everything is very walkable to tour all the highlights of Porto including the docks for the water tours which a block away.

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.

What a view from the balcony. Super clean. The Gaia side of the river had more going on than I expected. Don’t miss the sunset by the top of the bridge.

We loved being on this side of the river, view was amazing!, had a glitch with the air conditioner and the property manager tried their best to fix the issue, they were very quick to answer any questions we had, the apartment was very clean and modern, all in all we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again

We had a great stay, the location was perfect for us. Close to our activities, airy, big windows, and the view from the balcony was an absolute treat, any time of the day, rain or shine! The host was very responsive, we had some extra requests and they accommodated us -thank you! It would be tough for someone with motility issues, as there is no lift and a few stairs flights. If you're ok with stairs, I highly recommend this place. I'd love to come back to Porto /Gaia, and when we do, I'd love to stay here again.

We enjoyed our 2 night stay and the apartment itself was in excellent condition and very comfortable. The only drawback we encountered was parking. The recommended lots were full and we ended up driving around until we found a lot with available space. The cost was 25 euros/day which we originally had not planned to pay when booking.

Tiene la vista más linda hacia Porto desde el balcón. La mejor localización de Gaia!!

Even though the apartment was in Vila Nova de Gaia this was the perfect location to take in beautiful views of the Douro River, Porto (Riberia Square), Ponte Infante Dom Henrique Bridge, etc....Plus you had some of the best Port wineries and restaurants steps from the apartment, and sipping libations while enjoying the sunset from the apartment balcony or making the trip to Jardim do Morro. It was easy to cross the Douro River and enjoy both Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia. Definitely will be booking this apartment during my next visit to the Porto area. Obrigado!

Excellent stay and location! The only thing was the body lotion was out and the previous place we stayed didn’t have It all so I was Excited to see that but will stay again!

This was our first time in Porto and decided to take a risk and stay in Vila Nova de Gaia just because of the views. What a great choice! The view from this patio is amazing and you’re staying right in the heart of the wineries. Porto is a short and easy 20 minute walk across the bridge.

Beautiful view. Nice location. Coffee pods for machine would have been appreciated. (especially when checking in on a Saturday evening)The only pods were hot cocoa. Not many stores nearby to purchase pods. Also a small bar soap or liquid soap dispenser would be nice as it is hard to pour body wash onto your hands for the sink. Still a little confused about a form that appears I was to receive on check in.

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.
