We loved spending New Year at Maria's apartment. The place was perfect for us because it was located on a residential street, but a short walk to everything, all the attractions in the heart of Porto, 5 minute walk to a supermarket, and the river Douro just a few meters away. The apartment was very clean, very bright, with big windows, but lots of privacy because there were no neighbors directly outside of our windows, so we could keep the blinds open all the time. Also, we heard no noise from the street, so that was really nice. The assigned parking space inside the building was convenient because we drove from Lisbon, but we didn't use the car while in Porto. We are planning to return to Porto in a couple of years and hopefully stay at Maria's apartment again.
