What a wonderful host and view. Maria Joao is just lovely and her place is really a well thought out and comfortable one. She is an excellent communicator and is there to guarantee you would love your stay. The views across the heart of the old town of Porto are unsurpassed, and this is our third visit to the same area. It is a great convenience to walk to the palace, Sao Bento, Rue des Flores, and easy to the waterfront. It is best for couples in our opinion. She also has top notch restaurant recommendations. Finally, the is a rather steep hill to walk to the magnificent view but we would suggest it doesn’t bother you, but rather serve as a perfect way to walk off a sure to be heavy wonderful meal with a magnificent reward and view at the end. It is only 100 meters and there is complimentary Port waiting for you to sip on your terrace. She really has thought of everything to showcase this unique and fantastic city. Stay here! Highest recommendation.
