Summary: This is a low key accommodation on the edge of Porto on the Afurada side if the river. It is in a quiet neighbourhood full of seafood restaurants. The nearest beach is a 15 walk away. The accommodation is adequate, safe, Maria the host is contactable and friendly. We loved it and are planning a return. Access to the city proper takes a bit of planning, but Uber is available and affordable.

Summary: Maria is a wonderful, friendly hostess. The apartment is a well-equipped efficiency one floor upstairs on a very narrow street. You can unload there, but free parking is less than a 5 min walk away. This apartment is located in a quiet corner of the Afurada section of Porto, an area that was historically home to fishermen. The attachment to the sea and fishing remains strong. There are many seafood restaurants in this small area. There is a bakery within a 3 min walk from the apartment for breakfast breads and pastries, including delicious pastels de nata. There are also 2 small food markets. It's about a 2 km walk along the river to get to the area of Gaia where the port wine lodges are located, but if you don't want to walk, Uber is a good option. Uber is also a good option for fast transportation to central Porto. Bus service is also available, but it can be rather time consuming for tourists trying to maximize their sightseeing time.

Summary: Maria was a wonderful hostess who met us at the property to show us everything. The apartment was clean and close by to the river. We were pleasantly surprised by how close! Restaurants and shops nearby as well in the quaint village.

Summary: This felt like the real Portugal to us, living amongst the locals, washing hanging out the windows on the narrow street, lovely local friendly cafe down the road and excellent restaurants near by. The apartment was well equipped and I liked the little extras such as washing powder and coffee extra. The shower was small but manageable and Maria could not have been more helpful. Porto is a wonderful city to visit and we would love to go back again

Summary: 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

Summary: 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!

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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!
