Summary:

Welcome to your next destination!



Discover the space where the essence of tradition meets the comfort of modernity, designed to provide a unique stay. Located in the heart of Vila nova de Gaia, this accommodation has been carefully designed to reflect the authenticity of the area and provide a complete experience, with all the modern amenities at your disposal.



The Space:

Enjoy this contemporary and pleasant apartment. It's perfect for your stay while exploring the city.



Equipped Kitchen: With everything you need to prepare your meals, just like at home.



Room: Quiet environments for restful relaxation, reflecting the simplicity and elegance of the city.



Strategic Location: A steps from the "General Torres" metro station and close to the tourist attractions: Ribeira, Jardim do Morro and Ponte D. Luis I, allowing you to easily explore what the city has to offer.



Guest Access:

All apartment space and amenities are included in this booking. Feel completely at home.



The Neighborhood:

If you ask, all people from Porto say that the best thing about GAIA is the view of PORTO, we don't know if it's true, but the main ATTRACTIONS of this city are on the BEIRA-RIO.



THE LOCATION of the apartment allows you to be close to the METRO, which can take you directly to the center of PORTO, or if you prefer, you can walk while absorbing the views of RIO uniting the two cities, once rivals.



To discover your CULTURE, be sure to visit the Monastery of SERRA DO PILAR and take a photo with a 360º view over PORTO and RIVER. Since it's so close, a piece of advice to RELAX: take advantage of an afternoon to have a PICNIC while watching the sunset at JARDIM DO MORRO, to the left of the board above LUIZ I BRIDGE. Don't forget to try a TOUR of the various CAVES OF PORT WINE in the city of Gaia.

Disappointing Experience – Would Not RecommendI don’t enjoy leaving negative reviews, but from time to time it’s necessary to help others make informed decisions.When I booked this apartment, I asked the host about the lack of reviews. She told me it was a new listing, but that it was a beautiful place and I would love it. Unfortunately, that wasn’t my experience.Arrival Issues:Before arriving, I asked if the host offered driver services. She said no, but that we could take an Uber. We did, but the Uber driver couldn’t find the location. I called the number provided by VRBO — no one answered. I messaged the host through the app, and she said she had sent instructions via a link, but I was never able to open it. We ended up lost in an area surrounded by abandoned warehouses until a kind stranger helped us find the property.Poor Access and Security:There was only one key in a lockbox, and the door lock was misaligned, making it very difficult to open and close. To exit the apartment, the key is also required from the inside, which made things inconvenient, especially when one person was sleeping and the other needed to leave.Interior Layout & Safety Concerns:The apartment was far from cozy and definitely not safe for children. It has an extremely narrow spiral staircase. My husband, who is a 220-pound bodybuilder, couldn’t comfortably or safely go upstairs — he ended up sleeping on the couch downstairs.Bathroom Size:The shower is incredibly small (28 inches by 2
