Maria was extremely welcoming and clear in helping us get acclimated during our stay. She was so friendly and helpful as we were first time world travelers. She left helpful instructions for taking the bus system to the city center (nearby), restaurant recommendations, as well as what was required of us during our stay in her apartment. We loved the area as well as the apartment itself. Super accessible and accurate to the pictures and description. The location was fantastic in proximity to the waterfront as well as the historic Porto center. Maria was an ideal hostess!
