We had a beautiful experience staying in Maria Manuel's apartment. Maria Manuel's mother, Isabel, offered several recommendations for restaurants and sights in Porto, and we were delighted with each one. The many moods of the Douro, in sunshine, wind, rain, hail storm, were wonderful to observe from our windows and balcony. Maria Manuel provided a welcoming food/wine basket, comfortable beds, stylish furnishings and an extravagantly spacious living-room/dining-room that accommodated our party very comfortably. The location is perfect. We would love to visit again!
