Maria was a lovely host and gave us many great suggestions for her favorite places to see and things to discover. We had a warm welcome and clear instructions for everything we needed to know. The location is amazing if you want to explore Porto on foot and also using public transport. It was very convenient.
The apartment is nice and clean. It has a living room area, kitchen and bathroom on the ground floor and the bedroom on the 1st floor. This internal structure is kind of charming, but be aware that there is a very steep staircase connecting bedroom to the ground floor. Be careful going up and down the stairs and turn on the light before you do.
One important thing to mention is the noise from the bars right in front of the house. They are very well-frequented, something is always going on that square, regardless if its a weekday or the weekend. So unless you are yourself up for a sleepless party time I would recommend to either bring earplugs or consider another more quiet option.
We had a nice experience in Maria's apartment and we loved Porto!
