Maria was waiting for us and made us feel very welcomed with traditional Portugese pastries and a bottle of Porto wine. Much appreciated gesture. The apartment is just as shown in the photos and sparkling clean. Location could not be better - it is so close and convenient to everything. Maria spent time going over the Porto area, recommending some places to go and helped us with some logistical questions on our remaining Portugal trip. The only downside, and it is mentioned in the description, is the noise. Despite double panes on all the windows and doors, noise at night from the bar next door as well as the lively Porto streets at night made it difficult to sleep because we are light sleepers. Other than that, our stay was fantastic.
