This was our first trip to Porto, and came after our pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago. We chose this location based on the style and size of the apartment, but soon realized that its is set in the perfect place in town. The Rua de Flores is lively and vibrant, but the apartment is set back making it a perfect quiet retreat. We enjoyed daily siestas that helped make for perfect days.
The apartment itself is a perfect size for a couple, and Maria has made it look and feel like home. The ceramic swifts on the wall were inspiring enough that we bought our for home.
We were able to make our own meals, as well as enjoy morning coffees and evening glasses of wine. The bed is very comfortable, the bathroom is larger than many we've seen in Europe and the air conditioner made the inside temperature perfect day and night.
Maria was the perfect host. The check-in experience can sometimes be a little scary, but Maria sent us step-by-step instructions with PHOTOS! She reached out to use throughout our trip to make sure all of needs were met, and that we were enjoying Porto. Maria is the perfect ambassador for the city.
If you want a warm and wonderful place to stay that is near anything you want to see in Porto with a perfect host, then look no further than Andorinhas Flores.
