Maria was an absolutely fantastic host. Her apartment was even better than described -- a beautiful location, a lovely layout and wonderful amenities. In all seriousness, it was the best smelling apartment I've ever been in -- I've never been so tempted to spend the day just reading under the ultra-fresh duvet. Her restaurant suggestions were all great, and I really loved having a glass of port with her. Would absolutely recommend this apartment to anybody looking for a relaxing, convenient time in Porto.

A note for drivers -- parking was a cinch on Ave. do Brasil, and there's plenty of extra spots on nearby side streets as well.
