Maria's place is located 15mins walking from Rua St. Catarina. The neighbourhood is quiet, with cafes, supermarkets, bakery and even a restaurant open till 01:00 with amazing meals and also take away (all decent priced). The place itself is stylish, a mix of contemporary with typical Portuguese architecture. Everything you need for a pleasant stay in Porto you will find here, and if you are lucky enough to meet Maria's friend (Paula) you will get the most accurate tips from a true "tripeira" . Highly recommended.
