We LOVED Fred and Maria's place in Porto. The view was spectacular, their hospitality was top-notch (spent all the time we needed telling us about places to see, arranged a dinner at a tiny local restaurant that was just wonderful, and an amazing deal at 29 Euros for dinner plus dessert plus sangria for 2), and the apartment super comfortable. There were additional thoughtful touches such as a gift of port wine and beautiful soap. The apartment, and the entire building, were spotlessly clean. We enjoyed the fireplace (real wood, not gas), as the nights are cool in November. There was plentiful hot water, the bed was comfortable with high quality bedding, it was very quiet in the neighborhood, and the building is beautiful. We give this apartment our highest recommendation if you come to Porto!
