Staying at Maria's place was wonderful! She was at home when we arrived and gave us a lot of helpful information on what to see in Porto. During out entire stay, she would help us e.g. when we tried to find a vegetarian restaurant. Maria is very warmhearted and we had very nice conversations with her - she's probably the best host you can find in Portugal! Her apartment is not only cosy but also well-cleaned and it is a nice walk of approximately 15 minutes to get to the old town centre. From the room we stayed at, we could see the training of FC Porto kids teams, which was a nice program to look at during our breaks at daytime. Nevertheless it is really quiet. You see: We can recommend staying with Maria 100%!
