This is a well-kept apartment with only two rooms, so minimal coming and going. As other reviewers have noted, Kai communicates very well and is a nice guy. He made sure I had all the info I needed to check-in successfully. Everything was clean...

We loved having a calm and sunny breakfast on the terrace. The apartment is a bit further away from the Ribeira which means the streets are quiet at night, unlike the area closer to the city center. Getting in and out of the city center was...

The accommodation was a nice space, very clean and tidy, and had most things we needed for a comfortable stay. Self check-in was easy however, the host could have prepared more information about checking-in for us in advance.

We offer two beautiful, bright rooms for short-term rental in our yoga studio taol. The rooms are clean, simple and functional. We are happy to welcome travellers. The flat is located on the upper floor of a two-storey house in Vila Nova de Gaia, a five-minute walk from the train station Deve-sas. One room has a double bed and a private bathroom with shower accessible via the hallway, the other has two single beds and a bathroom with shower also accessible via the hallway, which can also be used by yoga practitioners when classes are taking place. Use of the fully equipped kitchen with table for four and the terrace is included. On the spacious terrace, we can have breakfast, relax and listen to the sounds of life in Gaia coming from the neighbouring backyards. The yoga room is located at the front of the flat. The doors to this room can be closed so that the privacy of guests in the kitchen and on the terrace is not disturbed. Guests are welcome to participate in yoga classes when they are taking place and if there is space available. When the yoga room is not in use, it can be used by guests. (We kindly ask that you to not wear shoes or eat meals in the yoga room.) From there, you have access to a small, sunny bal-cony facing the street. There are numerous free parking spaces in the side streets, whereas parking on the street itself is subject to a charge during the day. The connection to public transport is very good.
The flat is located in an old, non-gentrified neighbourhood. Hopefully it will stay that way. The area is characterised by port wine cellars, houses and residential buildings, as well as local work-shops. Cafés, shops, a post office, pharmacy, supermarket and train station are all in the immedia-te vicinity. With the Andante (ticket for the Metro do Porto), you can take the train from Estação das Devesas station to the nearest metro station, General Torres. From there, it is three stops to the centre of Porto. There is a bus stop practically on the doorstep with a direct connection to the cen-tre of Porto. The banks of the Douro with its port wine cellars are about a quarter of an hour's walk away. There you can enjoy a beautiful view of the Ribeira do Porto and the Ponte D. Luís bridge and plan your day from there.
