Excellent hostess - Maria was very helpful in every way I needed. The apartment was delightful, their dog is super friendly (and quiet), the neighborhood was good, mass transport was a bit of a hike either for bus or metro, but manageable. The train system is wonderful. I got a Porto card and saved a bunch running around.
This room does not have a private bath (she has a long term fellow in that room who I only saw once but he was a hero and carried my suitcase up the 3 flights for me as there is no elevator). Nice cafe downstairs.
