Maria’s place in a quiet suburb of Matosinhos, right by the beach, was a true home for us during our month-long stay in Porto. A 5-minute walk to the beautiful beach walk, we went almost every day. Accessible easily by a 5-10 minute walk to a few different supermarkets and many different stores. No need to leave the neighborhood except to explore Porto’s city centers, which is accessible via public transport (there are 2 bus stops surrounding the apartment, which can take you to the metro that takes you into the city).. Uber was also always only a few minutes away, so that was convenient.
About the apartment, there was everything we needed for our stay. All dishes to cook and all appliances as listed. It was very homey. She met us the first day outside and walked us in, showed us around, gave us the keys, and was very quick to respond anytime we had a question via messaging. She is nice, her place is nice, and we highly recommend if you want a quiet beach vibe accessible to Porto.
