In the living room with a sofa bed where you can rest and relax, in front of a cable TV, and also where two light people can sleep.
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). Access to the apartment is via a staircase (2nd floor - 19 steps). Guests can access, with complete autonomy, all parts of the apartment space.
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.
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 (historic center of Porto). 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 reservation because there is a fee for pets (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 in the day or on some special days, you may have to do a self check-in. In this case, we will send you all access details to the building and apartment. During your stay you can always contact us via cell phone or WhatsApp.

Summary of reviewsGreat location near bus stops to the city center and a train station around the corner. Well-equipped apartment with a shared laundry room and a garden for pleasant weather. Ideal for exploring Porto.
10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2019
Il y a des arrêts de bus pas loin menant directement au centre ville, avec la gare au coin de la rue également. Situation idéal près des caves, même à pied on peut visiter tout Porto. L'appartement est bien équipé, avec une buanderie commune. Ce doit être agréable de profiter du jardin par beau temps. Je recommanderai à des personnes qui veulent visiter Porto, sauf peut être en plein hiver. Merci pour l'accueil.

6 / 10Average·Sep 2016
This is something that should really be said from the owner. It has a construction next door, the bed really SHAKES after 8 AM. It was extremely annoying, you are on vacation, need to rest, jetleg and at 8 AM a construction noise wakes you up.
When I questioned him about the noise he said: "they are almost done". "Will I be here when they are done,? I'm here now", this was the only thing I could replied.
Another thing:
1 - Check out was scheduled for 11 AM, the owner showed up at 10 AM with a housekeeper to clean the apartment, trying to rush me. I had my mother with me, who is 82 years old. I had to show him in HomeAway app that HE was the one who wrote 11AM and not me. He just said: "I did not write 11 AM" ... Well, I do not have access to change anything, so for sure it wasn't me. I was very unhappy but I let the housekeeper in, so she could start doing her job, luckily she was extremely polite and helpful.
2 - Internet does not work properly. The router is at the first floor, belong to another apart, its signal does not cover the apartment. So the owner should remove this information or install a proper one with he wants to advertise internet.
I had problems for check in also. so check and check out was very messy.
I didnt want to write this review, but I feel like I should, I had to call HomeAway to help me with my check in, this must be recorded over there, because the owner did not follow HIS instructions, he wrote me instructions and his excuse was "my battery die", I was more than an hour waiting for him on the street with my mother.
My three stars is because of the place, it is not a bad place to stay, but check and check out should be better, much better.
It wasn't a great stay ...
