very centrally located, clean, high ceilings, it’s got a view of the Douro, and communication with Marco was great. I had no trouble getting good sleep as the bed is comfortable, but even with the double doors closed, I could still hear garbage collection from outside or random noises at night, but that is to be expected of any stay that is in a historic building. To my group this was not a big deal but if you are a very light sleeper you might want to pack earplugs. The bathroom is also a little small - which was no issue for people in my group but if you’re on the larger side, it could be a tight squeeze. My stay at Marco’s was great and I’d highly recommend it!
