We didn't meet Marco, but he communicated well with us through texting. The location is truly the best for a quick tour of Porto. You are right beside the Duoro River, the historic center of town, and Gaia (where all the Porto cellars are located) is
an easy stroll across the river. The decor of the apartment is a chic, minimalist style. It's stocked with shampoo, a nail file (LIFESAVER) , and other little thoughtful extras like earplugs. The other thing we loved is that Marco had created a personalized itinerary of suggested tourism that fit the quick 36 hour time slot we had to stay there. So cool. Last thing, the bed is super comfortable and the sheets and towels have a lovely scent. Really nice touch!!!
