Pros: the location could not be any better; it’s a block and a half from the beach; it’s right on the Avenida da Republica and right next to the Matosinhos Sol metro station. There are so many cafés and restaurants within walking distance so it couldn’t be any more central in Matosinhos.
Cons: The apartment is dated; It’s older; it’s lived in; it’s Maria’s home that she’s rents out. But Maria is responsive and we didn’t have any challenges with the apartment. We enjoyed our month stay in Maria’s apartment.
