Marlene's place is a compact apartment, very clean but because you are in a city and close to the center it can be a bit noisy. Marlene is a super nice woman who communicates clear and quick. There is a great restaurant in the street an you are a few steps away from the fine port-houses of Porto. The famous bridge is at the end of the street and if you like the city-life and need a clean practical place to sleep this is it. It is not an apartment with a large living or sitting room but that's clear from the pictures, Marlene is very clear and honest about the house, what you see is what you get and for us it was a good deal.
