About this property

OPorto Cheers Gaia - Next to Train Station and Free Street Parking - 3rd Floor

In the bedroom of the "Oporto Cheers Gaia" apartment, located in the historic center of Gaia, on the third floor, you will find a King Size bed overlooking our Gardens. The lounge and dining room has a granite table and 4 chairs, a sofa bed, facing a large window, and a television. There is electric oil heating in winter and fans in summer. From the living room window you can enjoy the view over the Gaia and Porto area

It should be noted that the sofa bed has the following dimensions: 1.83X1.05 m., so one person or 2 children or two teenagers can comfortably sleep there (we do not accept adults). Please bear this in mind before booking.

You will have access to our blog and our online guide to make the most of your visit to our city without having to do a lot of research beforehand.

Access to the apartment is via a staircase (3rd floor, 50 stairs, not recommended for those without full mobility). Guests can access, with complete autonomy, all parts of the apartment space.

Free Wi-Fi is available. Heating during winter - and ventilation during summer. Guests can access, with complete autonomy, all parts of the apartment space. The apartment also offers guests a lawned garden, where you can rest and relax, or have meals at any time of the day. The gardens, on 3 terraces, are shared between 2 other apartments in the same building (also rented to tourists from all over the world).

Included in the price are sheets and bath towels, kitchen utensils and cleaning at the end of the stay. Wireless Internet is also included. The cot has an additional price of €8 per night if required.

From the train station, a 1-minute walk away, you can easily and quickly visit the famous beaches of the Silver Coast: Cabedelo (3 km), Valadares, Madalena, Francelos (5 km), Miramar (6 km), Aguda (7 kms), Granja (8 kms), Espinho (9 kms), Aveiro (50 kms) and Figueira da Foz (100 kms), Nazaré and Peniche. From here you can also take the ALFA PENDULAR fast train to Lisbon, a journey of less than two and a half hours.

You can buy a low cost ANDANTE ticket for 3, 7 or 10 days, and during these days, come and go, wherever you want and by train or metro, at no additional cost. Here you can visit important and beautiful cities in the north of Portugal: Viana, Braga, Guimarães, Póvoa, Lamego, Régua, Côa, Viseu, Guarda, Aveiro, Coimbra and Fátima.

From the airport you can take the metro (line E - blue) to Trindade and change to line D (yellow) to Gaia. Then leave there and next to Gaia City Hall, continue along Rua Conselheiro Veloso da Cruz on foot to the building with number 90. There is free parking in the nearby streets, 80 meters from the building on Rua Alexandre Braga.

There is the "Devesas" bus stop 160 meters away on the way to the supermarket. Here you can take the 904 to Trindade (Porto's historic center). Another 430 meters away is the "Arco do Prado" bus stop (near the Pingo doce supermarket) where you can catch the 903 to "Casa da Música" in the center of Porto.

The location of “Oporto Cheers Gaia” has the advantage of being strategic for those who want to avoid traffic and noise from the city's well-known streets.

Below the accommodation, there is a small pizzeria (very good) which can be a useful resource for when you don't feel like cooking during your vacation, so you can eat there, or take the food back to the apartment. 80 meters away you will find a restaurant serving typical Portuguese food that we fully recommend.

Further down, 500 meters from the building, there is a “Pingo Doce” supermarket that sells all food and drinks as well as any other material you need in your daily life for your comfort and hygiene. You will have access to our blog and our online guide to make the most of your visit to our city without having to do a lot of research beforehand.

The wine is called “Port wine”, but all the Port wine cellars are in Gaia. And you'll be able to walk there because most of them are less than half a mile away.

If you bring a pet, please add it to the booking as there is a pet fee (and a maximum of one pet per booking)

Sometimes we will be at the "Oporto Cheers Gaia" apartment upon your arrival to welcome you and provide you with the keys to the apartment and all the information you need for a perfect stay, including good tips on what to visit. Sometimes, if you arrive late or on some special days, you may have to do a self check-in. In this case, we will send you all access data to the building and apartment. During your stay you can always contact us via cell phone or WhatsApp.

So,so

Communication with Armando equals zero. Hundreds of centipedes crawl over the walls on the terrace and also inside. They are poisonous! Two other parties have acces to the terrace and have full view to the bed. Matress is good, not the other furnitures, though. There is hardly any citchen stuff or glasses, no basics like salt.... A little more attention would help a lot.

Appartement avec charme certain et désagrément

Appartement avec vue sur les toits de Porto sympathique et jardin en espalier attenant très appréciable pour les locataires et le chien. Peu de renseignements du propriétaire en amont et sur place. Appartement un peu défraîchi et par fortes pluies, l'eau s'infiltre dans la chambre. Ce qui aurait demandé un prix d'hébergement à la baisse. Sinon, emplacement dans quartier populaire à 10 minutes à pied des magnifiques caves de Porto.

Trop de marches 50 marches.Avec les valises pas facile .point positif calme vue correct.

Bon accueil par le propriétaire. Points négatifs: égout bouché très tres désagréables .Propreté correct. A notre arrivée odeur d humidité avec notre fille qui a des allergies 🤔 Le canapé lit n est pas fait pour dormir même pour un enfant une barre dans le dos. Nous avons du acheter un matelas gonflable. Bien placé pour visiter Porto.

Gute Lage, moderne Ausstattung - mit Fehlern

Der Vermieter ist sehr freundlich und war telefonisch und per Email gut erreichbar und half bei auftretenden Problemen innerhalb kurzer Zeit. Einrichtung und Ausstattung sind neu und modern. Es gibt eine Waschmaschine, die sich die drei möglichen Parteien teilen. Allerdings ist nur ein Wäscheständer vorhanden. Ansonsten gibt es die Möglichkeit, kleinere Wäscheteile in dem Raum, in dem die Waschmaschine steht, aufzuhängen - das Trocknen dauert jedoch viel länger als auf dem Wäscheständer, der im Freien platziert werden kann. Die Mikrowelle hat eine Grillfunktione, ob man sie als Backofen benutzen kann, haben wir nicht ausprobiert. Ein anderer Backofen ist nicht vorhanden. Die Kaffeemaschine ist ein Espressokocher, ansonsten ist die Küche gut ausgestattet. Föhn, Bügeleisen und Bügelbrett sind ebenfalls vorhanden. Aus der Beschreibung des Apartments geht nicht hervor, dass sich drei Parteien den Garten teilen. Je einer Partei ist eine ca. 16 qm große Ebene des Gartens mit Tisch, Stühlen und teilweise Sonnenschirm zugeteilt. Wir haben in dem obersten Apartment gewohnt, was bedeutete das, dass die Bewohner der beiden anderen Apartments an den großen Fenstern vorbei immer auch Sicht in unser Apartment, insbesondere ins Schlafzimmer, nehmen konnten. Es sind Außenjalousien vorhanden, Gardinen oder Vorhänge will der Vermieter noch anbringen lassen. Die großen Fenster im gesamten Apartment sorgen für Helligkei; die Kehrseite ist, dass es schwierig ist, Privatsphäre zu haben. In der Beschreibung zu dem Apartment ist auch ein Gemeinschaftspool erwähnt. Den gibt es zumindest nicht in direkter Nähe. Die Nähe zum Bahnhof ist sehr praktisch, um rasch in die Außenbezirke oder in die Innenstadt fahren zu können. Zum Ufer des Douro und zu den Weinkellereien sind es 10 Minuten zu Fuß. Ein- und abfahrende Züge hört man allerdings auch. Ebenso wie die Flugzeuge, deren Einflugschneise Gaia zu sein scheint. Größere Supermärkte wie Pingo Doce und lidl sind in 15 bis 20 Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen. Kleine, etwas teurere Märkte sind um die Ecke. Kostenfreie Parkplätze sind vorhanden, aber sehr rar. Das Apartment liegt in einem Gebiet, in dem ansonsten rund um die Uhr Parkgebühren gezahlt werden müssen.

apartamento cómodo y agradable en zona tranquila. Todo nuevo y limpio.

La única pega que le veo, es que para ir a la zona del rio, aunque no está lejos, para volver es una cuesta considerable.
