Maria is a wonderful host! She met us at the doorstep when we arrived, showed us the flat and gave a lot of tips about what to do in Porto, where to go and answered all questions that we had. The flat is compact and very cozy, everything we needed or could think about was there and it was spotless clean. Our main concern was internet, since we were planning to work for several days, and it has exceeded our expectations. We liked all the small details that have been taken care about. On the first 2 days it was pretty chilly but there was a heater to warm us up. Having breakfast on the huge balcony will be one of our sweetest memories :) Location is great: 5-10min from the metro station, same distance is to a supermarket, bakery, laundry, 24h snack vending machines and several small cafes/restaurants around to go to for a lunch. 15-20min walking to the city center via Santa Catarina pedestrian street. We fell in love with Porto and would be glad to stay in Maria's apartment again :)
