The appartments greatest quality are its location (near downtown Porto in a lively neighbourhood with nice restaurants and bars) and its size. Downsides: kitchen and bathroom less then one would expect given the nice decoration of the room, and the overall maintenance of the place could have some improvement. It's all nicely painted in white, but that's it. For this price though, it is great value for money.

Mario as a host stays in the background. His map with suggestions is very nice, but of himself we have never seen or heard more than a text message. That's good, but a little less personal than one would expect on AirBnB.
