I traveled to Maria's loft with my husband and several of our family members. Between the 5 of us, we have stayed in many vacation rentals and we all agreed the Maria's was, hands down, the best experience we have had. The loft itself is in the best location in Porto. The setting is picturesque and the balconies provide amazing views. Many riverfront restaurants and shops are just steps away. The apartment is clean, chic and well thought out. Maria's service was the icing on the cake. She was extremely responsive to my questions prior to arrival. We arrived to the apartment later than we had expected and Maria was still there, waiting to greet us. She welcomed us with a bottle of port, artisan chocolates, freshly baked local bread, and several other treats. She also provided an extensive list of restaurant and sight-seeing recommendations in the area. Maria checked in with us several times throughout our stay and made sure we had everything we needed and that we were having a good time. I highly recommend this great apartment in a gem of a city.
