Maria was an excellent host. She was prompt and helpful in communicating before our arrival and check in went smoothly. The apartment was everything we hoped for. The neighborhood was quiet and removed from the tourist chaos. The maps and house manual provided where really great- we followed many of her recommendations for eateries and such near by and were not disappointed. There was also a lovely bottle of port as a welcome gift which came from the family vineyard- yummy! The flat was well stocked with anything you;d need to have a comfortable stay. We would certainly recommend this apartment to anyone looking to find the low-key, residential side of Porto.
