Hermoso departamento con vista espectacular Positive: Me encanto la vista y el departamento es muy

Beautiful flat with a spectacular view : I loved the view, and the flat is very spacious and lovely. The pool is incredible, the area is close to shops, the beds are comfortable and the bathrooms are clean. There were no instructions on where to put the rubbish or where the swimming pool was, but we figured it out quickly and it wasn’t a major problem

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The place was great for three couples. We had a great view of Porto, lots of construction outside, can’t be helped. Shower drains need some attention. We loved the location in Gaia found some great local restaurants. Clean, nice kitchen attentive property management.

The apartment was magnificent, especially its shared pool and kids’ area! The neighbourhood is going through some massive renovations but I’m sure that it will get even better once the metro is implemented. Thank you for hosting us :)

We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment was spotless and modern, with a beautiful pool and a stunning river view from the spacious balcony. It was the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee. There is currently huge construction nearby, which can make finding the building a bit tricky at first. But it's absolutely worth it. Fortunately, the construction does not block or affect the amazing view from the balcony. Also, a special mention to GuestReady. They were the only company in Portugal we had a truly great experience with. They were punctual, professional, and left a thoughtful welcome pack with all the essentials. Highly recommend!
