My daughter and I loved the neighborhood and apartment during our 5 day stay in beautiful Porto. We had a car and parking was very easy here. We liked being out of the hustle of the city in the quieter neighborhood but we still found great restaurants, bakeries and cafes nearby. We barely moved our car because we could walk to the city center, to many of the sites, to view points and to the river. The apartment and garden area were very comfortable. We would definitely stay at Marina's place again.
