Maria's place was located in the old town and was really accessible to the main sights. Although on top of a hill - all of Porto is hilly, it's part of the experience. The room itself was comfortable but perhaps suited to just a travelling pair (we were 3 and it was a bit crowded). The apartment could get a bit hot and stuffy and perhaps a de-humdifier/heated towl rack would help to ensure the bathroom dried out (especially our towels). Maria was a great host and quick to respond to any and all queries. Would definately reccomend this place for a Porto getaway!
