Mario's apartment is as described: cozy, clean, proximate to the downtown areas. From the standpoint of convenience, this was a great place to stay.

I didn't get to meet Mario, but his directions of getting into the apartment and using all the utilities once there were clear and easy to follow. Again, no problems here.

I'd definitely recommend this housing option: it's a great alternative to hostels and hotels, and the room is lovely.

Thanks for a making my visit to Porto amazing!
