The apartment is straight off the street and hides the amazing view which just adds to the surprise when you enter. Very modern with lovely outdoor space and in a great location to walk everywhere. The hosts were very communicative and helpful at check in. Would highly recommend this beautiful apartment.

We enjoyed our stay here, with beautiful views of the river, the port houses, and rooftop kitties. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed inside. My only complaint is the listing clearly states "Parking on site", which is part of how we search for where we will be staying. I understand that this is a big city, and parking on site is rare, but that is what was expected, not that we would have to pay for separate parking 25EU/day quite a little distance down the block. Worse, the parking lot has terrible and inconsistent hours! It was supposed to stay open until 10pm, but I took the 5 minute walk to get something important out of the car at 830, and they were already closed and locked for the night. Again, I understand that in the city, this may be normal, but the listing clearly states otherwise. This was a huge problem for us, but everything else was wonderful, so I am still giving an overall 5-stars.

We spent 3 nights at the property. The location is ideal. Close enough to walk to everything but not hear the crowds. The deck is lovely to sit on and take in Porto with a glass of port after a busy day of site seeing.

8.0 / 10.0
Great location in Gaia with large deck with spectacular view of Douro River and Porto historical area. Access with metro very easy and short walk to riverfront Gaia porto wine district and across Dom Luis bridge into historic Porto
Condo was nice but lacked some amenities such as paper towel, wash clothes for dishes and cleaning counters, no garbage bags provided and kitchen sink faucet required repair and no BBQ as shown in pictures.
Tried to contact owner a few times to enquire and never received any response, would have expected owner to reach back but nothing.
Ice place to stay but it could a little sprucing up as it is starting to show some wear and tear
Overall would recommend staying here and enjoying the views from the deck

Loved Porto
Great location and amazing views of the city and Douro River from the wonderful deck. Sunsets were amazing. Great place for 2-3 couples to stay. Easy access to the city. The place could use a little freshening up and there are some needed repairs in the house. Not easy communication with the host. Didn’t diminish the great time we had but would have enhanced it.

Toplage Porto
Wirklich tolles Apartment in Traum Lage! Leider war die Angabe der Adresse sehr verwirrend und unmöglich zu finden, auch die Kommunikation war dann nicht optimal. Ansonsten alles bestens!

Traumhafter Blick aus schöner Wohnung
Tatsächlich das Beste ist der Blick von den Terrassen über den Fluss.
Die Wohnung selbst ist großzügig, hat ein wunderschönes Schlafzimmer mit Terrasse und Blick und zwei kleinere Zimmer, die nicht sehr charmant sind. Alles ist sauber und gepflegt, teilweise hochwertig, aber nicht mehr ganz frisch (Sofa, Fußboden).
Vitor kam zwar zu spät zum Check in, war aber anschließend gut zu erreichen und sehr hilfsbereit.

Don't be mistaken by the main door....
The apartment is very well located and just a few minutes walking for all the tasting caves and the Luis I bridge to go to Porto.
The apartment was very clean and the kitchen has everything you need for your stay.
Douglas, Ricardo's assistant always available.
We were two couples a lot space but the best is this beautiful terrace where we enjoying having coffee in the morning and wine for the sunsets.
Parking available 5mins walking $15 par night.
We highly recommend this property for your vacation.

A recommander
Magnifique appartement avec très belle vue sur le Douro. Correspond absolument aux photos et informations du sit web.
Le propriétaire est très aimable et conseille bien. La bouteille de vin de Porto, excellente par ailleurs, comme cadeau d’accueil est un geste hautement apprécié.

Great place for a visit to Porto
Everyone in our group very impressed with this property. Well placed for exploring both sides of the river, and a fantastic balcony for relaxing, dining and enjoying the sunsets

Douro Sunset View is simply Wonderful!
Three very private bedrooms on two floors. First floor deck and second floor balcony. Big living room and dining room that are the hub of daily activity. Great kitchen. Very modern. Finally the location is FANTASTIC. Probably a few hundred yards down the hill to the bridge and to the Port Lodges.

The deck and view alone are worth 5 stars
A wonderful place to chill and have sundowners after hours of walking hilly Porto. Nice to stay on the Gaia side. More residential and much less crowded than old town Porto.

Amazing!
We went to Portugal for the first time two weeks ago with another couple that we always travel with. This rental property has some amazing views. The pictures do not lie and in fact I don't really think that it does it justice. Ricardo was great and told us about many great local places to eat, drink and visit. Thanks Ricardo!

Outstanding Apartment, Outstanding View, Outstanding Location!
This well appointed apartment is truly a gem. My husband, sister and brother-in-law can't say enough about fabulous Ricardo and his wonderful apartment. He is a most charming and knowledgeable host/tour guide. The lovely and chic apartment is within walking distance to everything in Porto yet very quiet at night for sleeping! If you do one thing in Porto, an absolute must is a private tour with Ricardo to the Douro Valley Vineyard tour! Ricardo is a tremendous driver, navigating some very narrow switch backs! His tour took us to a darling little village followed by a delicious lunch next to a charming and small vineyard where tour buses can't go. The scenery was stunning! Ricardo offers other tours but unfortunately we ran out of time! You will not be disappointed with this beautiful apartment or Ricardo. We will be back...four nights is not enough time in Porto!

Luxurious and comfortable location for exploring Porto
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this luxurious apartment. It fit the needs of our group of 3 couples perfectly. A huge thanks for the welcome we received--your information was very helpful, Katja.
We were close enough to the trains and metro station that everyone was able to easily use public transportation. We have been in Porto before and we prefer the Villa Nova de Gaia area where it seems less crowded, is closer to the Caves and has some great walking areas. This apartment really situated us well.
The patio area was a spectacular setting for conversations and viewing the Duoro River-side as well as sunsets. Exactly as advertised. The kitchens was well-apponted and everything functioned well, though thank goodness for the apartment manual as we are not used to inductive stove-tops.
We will certainly recommend this apartment to anyone who is traveling to Porto and thank our host very much for our stay!
