El alojamiento está ubicado en una 1ª planta de una casa tradicional en un barrio pesquero de Oporto. El lugar tiene mucho encanto. Lo mejor es q puedes aparcar el coche en un aparcamiento cercano (excepto sábados, por mercado) y olvidarte. Es recomendable usar Uber para ir al centro (6 € más o menos). El apartamento es una sala diáfana con una cama de matrimonio, cocina americana y un pequeño baño. Al ir con un niño de 9 años necesitamos una cama supletoria, lo cual hacía menos cómodo el alojamiento. En principio esta cama contaba con un colchón hinchable que la hacía muy incómoda, se lo dijimos a la anfitriona y nos buscó un colchón normal aunque algo pequeño. En definitiva, si sabes adaptarte a las circunstancias puedes alojarte aquí, no obstante yo lo recomendaria solo para un máximo de 2 personas. Por lo demás, es un lugar idóneo para visitar Oporto y sus alrededores.

hi, we loved our stay here, the flat is as the pictures, the only thing if you had a bad leg is the stairs are steep. It has everything you need in it. We walked along the coast to the city in the morning instead of taking the bus , they both take about 30 mins and the walk much nicer. Then came home in the evening for a swim and local dinner, we loved so much will be back

Maria est très accueillante et prévenante et parle français, ce qui est un plus indéniable. L'emplacement est formidable dans ce superbe village de pêcheurs. L'ambiance est animée le jour et calme la nuit donc idéale. L'appartement dispose de tout ce qu'il faut pour passer un excellent séjour. En conclusion, n'hésitez pas, vous pouvez y aller en confiance. Muito obrigado Maria. Até breve.

It was an extraordinary experience to spend a full week in the small fishing village of Afurada, across the Duoro river from Porto. My host, Maria, was always ready and willing to support my stay in every way. She even helped me to make an A4 printed ticket required by the European Union railway service, by driving herself to a nearby shopping mall where such a service could be provided. She was truly my guardian Angel!

L emplacement de la location est parfaitement situé .Quartier agréable, vivant ,avec tous les services nécessaires. Maria est très accueillante,agreable et disponible .A notre arrivée un dessert nous a été offert. Seul bémol de cette location qui indique une chambre, il faut comprendre qu' il s agit d un studio .Très bien agencé, propre , pour le troisième couchage il est rajouté dans la pièce de vie. Le lieu reste idéal pour découvrir Porto et ses environs. Merci à Maria

This is a charming, convenient, and comfortable studio one flight up from an extremely pedestrian friendly neighborhood. It is a single block up from the Douro River. There are numerous small shops right up the street. It is not an exaggeration to say there are 15 typical Portuguese restaurants within about a two block walk. They are simple and inexpensive, serving extremely fresh sea food. The beef and pork dishes are also delicious. Maria is the host of the apartment and she was a delight to work with.

Un grand Merci à Maria qui nous a reçu tardivement après nos péripéties à l'aéoroport dans cet appartement idéal pour 2 et très propre dans un quartier agréable,calme,proche des commerces et proche de la vie de ses habitants.Obrigado

Prioritaire très accueillante et agréable

Maria wants your stay to be memorable. She greets you on arrival and when you leave and checks in during your stay. This is an amazing neighbourhood for restaurants, bars and food shops. Close to Porto but still in a place..with the friendliest neighbours you would ever want to meet.

My husband and I stayed for 3 nights at Maria’s apartment in Vila Nova de Gaia. The location in a small village right next to the river was the best part of being in Porto. The restaurants are grilling fish just outside the door. Maria was just delightful and we thank her for sharing her wonderful property with us. If you want a more local experience this is it!

Je ne sais plus si c est précisé dans l annonce mais il y a un escalier pour monter à l appartement . Seul bémol .. Le portugal est très acceulliant..MERCI

We had a great stay in the flat. Maria provide us a heartwarming welcome. The only point that could have been better is that the single bed was not very comfortable. We truly recommand Maria's flat.

Location is perfect. Host is very sweet and welcoming. Unit is perfect for a short stay in the area.

Everything and more, a must visit community. Hope to return one day

We arrived before sundown and as we wove through the narrower streets with our rental car to locate Maria's home, we noticed the smoke in the air, and the smell of the ocean wafting from sidewalk open grills. We came for this! Fresh seafoods, simply grilled and no fancy dressing up. The community appeared welcoming of visitors. A neighbor walked us over to knock at her door. After unloading, we were directed to the public parking of the marina, few streets away. Immediately, we found a spot not far from the police station house. It proved to be a very accessible, free and safe place to park. Maria's place was immaculately clean with large windows, unique stonewalled wall, and a complete kitchen with basic supplies. Best of all, Maria was a warm and a fantastic host who was very accessible, helpful, communicative, before our arrival and during our stay. We enjoyed our stay at her home, the neighborhood, and hopefully, we get the chance to visit again in the future. Some tips for getting around: Take the boat from Maria's place to get across, then catch Bus #500 to town. Get off right at the Sao Bento (Train Station with the must see interior of legendary tile works). Right at the corner is a tourist Info desk for maps. Up the road, turn left to follow the road to Lello bookshop, and passing by an interesting canned sardines' store and several pastry shops. Getting back to Apurada at night, we discovered Uber for about 6 Euros. Dinner was always around the corner from Maria's home. Always grilled seafood, green salad, and boiled potatoes and we loved it.

Every once and a while, I experience a rental place that I'm tempted to not tell people about, because it's that good and affordable, and I want to keep it to myself as much as possible. Maria's 2nd floor studio in the Afurada neighborhood of Vila de Gaia, across from Porto, is that kind of place. It is just steps- as in around 35- from TWO riverfront restaurants, and the river is mere feet from there. If you love sea food, you'll love Afurada, which is were the fishing boats return with their daily catches. The studio could not be more centrally located. Access to Porto is just a 2 Euro river ferry ride, around 100 yards from the studio. And river front Vila de Gaia and the port cellars is a 10 or 12 minutes walk along the river. I took Ubers to the large shopping center twice, around 3 Euros each leg, but Maria will show you how to get places on two buses that stop half a block from your door. The apartment itself is small yet feels spacious. Solid tile floor, stone walls and 10-foot ceilings. Two large eight foot windows with interior shutters allow you to darken or brighten the room. A kitchen set off by a "island" counter has everything you need to prepare your own meals. The bathroom is small but well laid out- except for the small shower, which is a bit cramped. Sink, toilet, shelves were all good. The main room has a decent sized table that easily seats four or more. There a very comfortable leather couch that seats two, The cable programming is the best I've seen in a rental in a while, with around 200 channels, including two good movie stations. No MSNBC or CNN that I could find, (and I didn't look for FOX). Finally, the bed was a queen with a good enough mattress. It could use a couple extra pillows- there were just two. I traveled solo this time around, but I'm bringing my girlfriend when I return to Porto/Gaia next year, and I will be staying here without a doubt. Muito obrigado, Maria.

Maria’s apartment is in an ideal situation. Close to cafes, restaurants, the river boat which crosses the river to Porto and the bus stop is also a short distance from the apartment. The apartment itself is very clean and everything you need is supplied. Maria, the owner, is a charming lady and very helpful. Thank you, Maria.

Having completed the Portuguese Camino we were looking for accommodation to rest and recharge our batteries before our flight home - and this place was just what we needed. Our host was very friendly and helpful, she even helped us book our taxi to the airport for our return flight.

Well located and well equipped studio flat. Everything you need is there and Maria is avert good hostess, very helpful. The flat is ideally situated for transport links into Porto. Afurada is a bustling but not too noisy village and it's surprising what can be found hidden among the streets. We found parking nearby and it's possible to park outside for loading and unloading.
