Perfect location

Check in was seamless and what a lovely studio awaited us at the top of the stairs. Gaia is just across the river and we had a beautiful view of Porto from the balcony. Comfortable bed & linens, spacious bathroom, solid WiFi and plenty of hot water. Very enjoyable stay!

Great Porto Location

The apartment was clean, nicely appointed and very comfortable for two. The location allowed for walking to local restaurants and tourist attractions as well. We choose to UBER to a few attractions which was very easy and not expensive. I highly recommend the apartment and plan to stay there when we return.

Amazing view of Porto

This apartment was exactly what we were looking for! We loved sitting on the balcony with our glass of wine and taking in the gorgeous view of Porto. Restaurants and the boardwalk by the river were within a one minute walk, and we took uber rides when we wanted to go to Porto, so the location was very convenient. The apartment had a large comfortable bed, nice big bathroom and shower. We had a great stay here and would highly recommend it!

Wonderful place to stay in Gaia

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,

Gorgeous views and comfortable stay

Lovely place right in the heart of Gaia and very close to Porto across the river. The space was clean and the views from the balcony were wonderful. Everything was very comfortable. Communication with the host could have been better. There were a few times I reached out and did not receive a quick (if any) response, but other than that, we had a wonderful stay here.
