Maria’s place is at the very heart of downtown Porto - it’s near many many restaurants and bars and some of the most popular things to see like Livraria Lello and Igreja dos Clérigos. The apartment is lovely, with everything we needed for our 2-week stay, and the internet is very good! If you stay here you are in the heart of the city so expect higher levels of city noise and activity around you! The apartment has double paned windows that muffle the sound, so we didn’t have any issues, but if you’re looking for a quiet place you might try to find something a little less central. The apartment is up one flight of stairs but there is an elevator for most of the stairs, which is awesome if you have big luggage. We loved our stay here!
