Natalia and her entire family were very kind and hospitable! The apartment is really well located with the Riviera and Matosinhos both easily reachable by walking, public transportation or taxis. The next door Casa da Musica is such a treat - we went to several concerts and dined at the top floor restaurant. The slight downside for this apartment is that it's located between two streets and you get some noise from the traffic, but we slept through it nicely. The kitchen, although really well equipped, is a bit tight for 5 people to dine in, but it can be done:) The apartment has a separate locked entrance, which was a plus as we were travelling with a baby carriage and could leave it at the door.
