Can't fault the position - it's got to be one of the best views in Porto and also perfectly situated for everything. Very comfortable and well equipped. Cycle shop downstairs ( called Cyclo ) is owned by brother of the apartments. ( Philippe ) We got a great discount on E bike hire and cycled 2 days running to the stunning beaches east and west of the city. Fantastic cycle tracks on the south side. I would have given it a solid 10 if the bathroom wasn't so tired and in need of a deep clean. The general cleaning in the whole apartment could be alot better ( especially the floors ) but this is very easily fixed. Maybe a coat of paint would be go od too especially on the ceiling in the kitchen. Overall - highly recommend 👌 Wonderful 4 nights / 5 days

Just the standard of cleaning - as mentioned above.

This property was outstanding for its price. We were honestly surprised with everything we received from the property and the owners for the price. The view was beautiful and everything was quite comfy. The kitchen was amazing and the owners supplied every utensil you could think of to cook with. The view over the water was beautiful from there and everything was very clean. The location was wonderful as well. There is plenty of cafes and restaurants right next to the property and lots of little souvenir shops. We will absolutely be returning again!

The only thing that we had issues with were the codes. This was not entirely the property's fault as we hadn't received an email with the correct codes at the time we had arrived. We were helped by the owner and he instructed us on how to get inside. I was sent the wrong code by Booking and so we had to call to receive help to get into the room itself. Likewise, I would not recommend this property to someone who has any issues with climbing stairs or a disability that involves needing a wheelchair. The stairs to get to the rooms were very steep and at a slight angle. Other than those two things, this was a wonderful property and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to see Porto and its amazing views and architecture.

The view of Porto is spectacular, sunset can’t be beat - the bed and bedding is comfortable - nice to have a fridge and kettle. The room is nicely decorated. Great location, very close to the river and the bridge over to Porto

The entrance door is very narrow and heavy- had difficulty holding it open to get luggage in. The stairs up to the 2nd floor, as mentioned in other reviews, are very uneven and steep, making it very difficult to carry up luggage. The shower is quite small w crumbling walls, also no window blinds in the bathroom. The building itself is currently under construction w banging beginning at 8a. Didn’t affect our trip, but just pointing it out for future guests

This was a beautiful apartment with stunning views of the Douro River. The apartment is conveniently located close to the metro. It is also adjacent to many restaurants and bars by the riverside. Self check-in was easy. We were sent the entry codes ahead of time. The apartment had all the amenities we needed for a 3-night stay. It was very clean and comfortable. Working AC, strong WiFi. There was a small kitchenette that we didn’t really use (other than the coffee machine). Bathroom was in great working order, maybe a little compact. I would definitely stay here again.

There’s a narrow stairwell to get to the apartments, but that’s nothing compared to the rest of Porto. Many steps and steep areas in the surrounding areas that you’ll run into

An unbeatable location right next to the Luis I bridge - so literally as central to Porto and Gaia as it is possible to be. The check-in was easy (once you figure out that you supposed to open the lock-box by the unit door not the apartment front door!!) and parking just up the street worked great (cars are useless in central Porto - take the bike tour that starts from next door, it was awesome!)

Only caution for less mobile folk is that the stairs up are steep, but this is common to most places.

Riverside apartments are the perfect place to stay and to explore Porto and Gaia. I cannot think of a better location. You do not need a car. You can easily explore Porto by walking from the apartment. The attractive Gaia riverside is at your doorstep and the Ribeira riverside is just across the bridge. The apartment is located next to the bridge. In the night all is very quiet. I would definitely go back. Last but not least, the owners are perfect hosts and are in touch to make sure all is well.

The location is amazing and wouldn't pick another. Amazing views from the room over the River. Very comfy. We enjoyed the Calem port tasting. Very informative. The cafe over the road Portobello made us the Portuguese sandwich which was amazing but felt disappointed that we couldn't finish it.

There has obviously been a leak from the bathroom at some point. The floor has dropped and visible around the skirting board. Some flooring needed attention but didn't change the stay in any way. Just needs a little TLC.

Amazing views across the river to Porto. The location was super convenient for sights in Porto and convenient to groceries and dining in Gaia. Having parking included about 5 minutes away was a nice perk.

The stairs up to the second floor are very steep and would be difficult for someone with marginal mobility limitations. It was not a problem for us.

Incredible location and view, in a very handy position easy to walk over the bridge or catch a taxi to Porto Old town. The kitchen was well stocked and comfortable bed and living area. Kitchen and Bathroom with great views!

Narrow doorway entry from the street and Very steep, narrow stairs up to the apartment, could be an issue for some travellers with their luggage.

Location in Vila Nova de Gaia is exceptional, and the apartment has several windows with nice views! The owners are very kind.

The layout can be a bit tricky to navigate at times, especially when using the kitchen for cooking, and the steps to reach the second floor apartment were extremely steep.
