Maria Manuel's loft was everything and more than we had hoped for. The location on the Douro River was spectacular. The views magnificent. The design of the loft worked perfectly for our family of 5. The loft was clean and neat and tastefully decorated. We drove to Porto and were able to park in an outdoor lot just a short 5 minute walk from the loft. We love to walk and were able to explore much of the city by walking. Maria Manuel's communication was prompt and informative. She met us at the loft on time and was very helpful in guiding us and enthusiastic in introducing us to Porto. We want to return to Porto and would definitely stay at Maria Manuel's place again.
