We stayed at Maria's beautiful apartment for a week. It is very stylish but practical at the same time and has a very "home" feeling about it. The fact is we could not ask for a more friendly, generous and helpful hostess than Maria! We do not speak Portuguese but we probably "spoke" more with her than natives of English speakers!
The room is nice and spacious with all you need for a comfortable stay plus with lots of little special touches. The whole apartment is spotless and very well kept.Very nice decor. All the kitchen amenities were well maintained too.
It takes 8 minutes walk to the metro from hers and about 35 minutes to Porto so we had really lovely days out to explore the city and enjoy great food and wine.
Maria was so keen to show us the nightlife and although we had a busy schedule, we just could not resist going out for a drive to enjoy the night lights. She picked us from the airport and arranged for an Uber to get us back. She took us to a supermarket on our arrival so we could stock up with whatever we needed-all little but thoughtful things which go really a long way and really appreciated. We really wish we had more time to spend with her and perhaps, she can teach us Salsa next time! We would love to visit her in Porto again and trust us, you will not be disappointed either. All the best, dear Maria! Maria
