Maria's apartment was wonderful. First, it is in a perfect location to be able to walk to all parts of Porto. The check-in process was easy and Maria's son did a fabulous job telling us about the apartment and things to do in Porto. The great thing about this apartment is that Maria lives in the same building so communication is great and she is very helpful. The apartment also has a fabulous garden that is quite beautiful to look at through the apartment windows. Unfortunately it was raining for most of our visit to Porto so we were not able to take advantage of the garden. This is a great place to stay in Porto.
