Stylish 5 Getaway Home, Gaia Porto
Beautifully all redone Apartment Great bed, kitchen, bathroom... Everything was so nice. My husband and I walked everywhere from here. Porto is an amazing city. Carlos is very kind and always answered my questions. My husband and I totally recommend this Airbnb. 👍

Host Wise - Fervença Boutique Palace 16
It was right under the Moru Garden, so it was nice to enjoy it from the terrace of the accommodation without having to go to the Moru Garden separately! The location itself was worth it, even though I had to keep crossing the East Louis Bridge to go to the tours or tourist attractions! It was less crowded than the Sanbento Station side, so it was quiet and the night view was so nice! However, you have to look at the river diagonally, not directly!(Look closely at the first photo you uploaded) We stayed for 3 nights, but there were only 2 large towels and 2 small towels, so we asked if we could get a little more towels, but they said that we could get them if we paid 39 euros, so it was a little disappointing that we didn't have enough towels... Other than that, my husband and I loved the accommodation, and it was clean and smelled good! It was nice to have two bathrooms! When I think of my trip to Porto, I think the view from the accommodation will be remembered for a long time!

[Central Gaia • Porto] Ma • Ma Suites • Free Garage
What a gem ❤️. The apartment is way more spacious than it looks in the photos: beautifully designed and perfect for two. It’s on the ground floor, which is super convenient, but thanks to the slope, it actually feels like you’re up high. A peaceful view and total privacy. The free private garage was a huge plus (we had a big car), and you can access it directly from inside the building. The area feels truly Portuguese, quiet, local, and just a few minutes from Gaia Shopping and El Corte Inglés. Getting to Porto was easy because Ubers are incredibly cheap. Max was one of the most attentive and thoughtful hosts we’ve ever met. We felt welcomed from the very first message. We’d absolutely come back!

Riverside Oasis by LovelyStay
good view, but little stairs to arrive place

Douro Bridges (3rd Floor) - Douro Riverside
We loved our stay so much! To have the parking option was a blessing. We walked everywhere during our stay. So close to the bridge, easy to walk to things in both Porto and Gaia, as well as spectacular sunset views! It was the romantic nest we were hoping for. Not ideal if you struggle with steps or narrow hallway to the apartment but we had planned for that. There was construction drilling on the outside wall of the bedroom our last morning which was a bummer, with the midday checkout we were hoping to sleep in but sie la vie.

Simple and comfy, recommend the stay!

Stunning Douro Terrace & Riverview Charming Villa
The house was beautiful inside, very modern and clean with everything you need. The beds were comfy, bathrooms were great with plenty of towels provided. The hosts were really responsive and friendly, and were really helpful with local recommendations and airport transfers. The location is great, in a quiet area not too far from Porto city centre. Very close to several port lodges (if you have an interest in that). The house is up a few steep hills, but it's very easy to get taxis to/from. There's also a few lifts and escalators on nearby roads which break up the walk from the harbour. With it being on a hill, the view of Porto and the river from the balconies is beautiful. Great outside space too. Would definitely recommend and would 100% stay again.

Oasiys - Your Getaway in Porto
My stay was brilliant! I was sold on booking the flat as soon as I saw the images, and what I booked is what I got! As soon as I opened the door, I was hit with the most pleasant smell. There are so many wonderful touches in this apartment, it's truly inspiring! From a custom playlist for whatever mood you want, to a branded magazine offering tips around town, including an interview with the owner and the artist whose work is around the flat. Netflix was also available, so I didn't have to bother signing into my account. Have I mentioned the amazing view yet? I enjoyed my view every morning. Everything around the apartment is just so aesthetically pleasing. I'd stay here again when next I'm in Porto. The team was also very responsive when I asked for recommendations, always offering me several options to choose from - whether for restaurants or self-storage lockers after check out. The only tiny thing – not everyone enjoys coffee. Pls consider tea drinkers also :D
