Marisa and her mom Beatriz provide an ideal apartment from which to explore Porto. We stayed here for seven weeks and it proved to be a great location without being in the intense city center. The apartment provides good space, nice amenities, and great sunset views. We arrived in Porto early and Beatriz allowed us to leave our luggage while she finished cleaning the apartment. When we returned from our first afternoon in Porto, a spotless apartment was waiting. And for a very reasonable price, she cleaned the apartment each week for us.
They provided breakfast items for our initial days, good instructions on using the washing machine, and two drying racks so the clothes dried quickly. The shutters provide good sound and light buffer, and the air conditioning in both the living room and bedroom were great during the hot days of August. The apartments around were quiet and hopefully the neighbors did not hear us.
The metro and buses are nearby and provide good options, but it is also not too far to walk to the center or Rebeira. With a car free shopping street nearby, and a great food market, it’s easy to use the local shops for anything needed.
We arranged to meet Marisa for a glass of wine one evening and we had great conversation.
Definitely choose this apartment for your stay in Porto, you won’t be disappointed!
