We loved Maria's apartment! It is on a quiet street within reasonable walking distance of the major Porto centers. We found it easiest to walk downhill into town. Depending on how tired we were, walking home at the end of the day was either a nice time to reflect or an inexpensive Uber ride back uphill. The rooms are spacious, especially the bath, with an open- sided shower, good water pressure, lengthy counter and magnifying mirror for make-up. The washing machine is located in a little room off of the balcony and turns into a dryer once it is done washing the clothes! So nice to be able to refresh our travel duds and the bath towels during the week. The weather during our stay wasn't conducive to using the balcony; however, I doubt we would have spent any time there. It is a very compact 4' by 4' space, with room for a bistro table and two folding chairs. The view looks down into the neighbor's patio and across nearby rooftops. We much preferred dining at several excellent restaurants in town. The bed is comfy with a firm, foam mattress and quality linens. I especially loved the wall of closets in the bedroom. We were able to unpack, store our luggage, and truly settle in for six days in Porto. Overall, a charming location that we would choose again.
