Wonderful host! Rosa took the time to go through recommendations in the area. She clearly takes pride in her work and the accommodations. Amenities are great! Including dishwasher, washing machine and additional snack items for purchase.
The view was amazing and a quick easy walk to the bridge.
Was kept up a couple nights by very loud neighbours (patio/pub next door that attracts groups into the late hours), but this is to be expected on “main street” or very busy locations.
Glad we stayed here nonetheless!
This property is situated on the Porto side, but in walking distance to the Gaia side. It is in walking distance to many attractions, and a quick Uber drive. Hostess was amazing. Very quick to respond to inquiries. Unit is spectacular, updated, and clean as a whistle. Beautiful view of Douro River. Windows are sound proof. Rosa is an incredible host and was filled with info for site seeing. She made us feel very comfortable, and we felt like she was an old friend. Would definitely come back and recommend! 5 Star!
Rosa was absolutely wonderful describing our room, giving dining and entertainment options. We took advantage of four or five of her suggestions and the food and wine tasting was awesome. The views from the room were breathtaking.
Absolutely fantastic stay at the Red House, incredible location, thoughtful details throughout the apartment and lovely host who gave great recommendations on sights to visit and restaurants to eat at. Would definitely recommend!
The property was very comfortable, well presented, spacious, with all basic amenities provided. It had a lovely private back patio under the rockface, and is located on the riverbank with beautiful views of the famous steel bridge and the port manufacturers opposite. The main old town area is just a short walk away. The owner was helpful on arrival providing plenty of information. Would highly recommend!
