The map house is a great home base to explore Porto. The apartment is immaculate, high ceilings, thoughtfully decorated, with all the required amenities. José greeted us on arrival with two glasses of porto. Communication with Isabel was efficient. Isabel even checked in on us midway through our stay to make sure everything was going well. There are many markets nearby and it is walking distance to the Ribeira. Metro, and parking options nearby. We opted for an indoor lot a bit further away than the one recommended at the corner of Rua de Fernandes Thomas and R. De Dom Joâo IV - about 800m from the apartment, for 13€ a day. If we were to return to Porto we would gladly stay at the Map House again.
