Mariana’s apartment is bright, clean and comfortable. It’s within walking distance of the historical quarter of Porto, close to all of the sights you might wish to see. She met us at the apartment for check-in at 22:00, and stayed to point out some nice local restaurants & amenities on a map. She also allowed us to store our bags before we left which was super considerate of her. The road is reasonably busy, so expect some road noise (the windows do a great job of reducing it by a lot though). It had no effect on our sleep though, by night the apartment is quiet so your sleep won’t be disturbed, especially as the bed is really comfortable! The hard floors do mean that the sound travels from other apartments in the building, so consider ear-plugs as you may have noisy neighbours (ours were training for the Olympic long-jump, it seems!). We’d definitely recommend Marianas tastefully decorated apartment to our friends if they visited Porto!
