Our stay at youropo in Villa Nova de Gaia was wonderful! We arrived early in the morning from our train and the room was being prepared so the staff there let us leave our luggage in the apartment instead of moving it to a locker which was very convinient. The apartment was clean, cozy and the view of Porto from there is absolutely gorgeous. The staff was helpful every step of the way and were always easy to reach. We will definitely book this place again in the future.
