Maria is one of the best hosts we encountered so far. She met us in person at the apartment and showed us around. The apartment is exactly as on the pictures, very spacious, well decorated and bright (or if you don't like it bright - just close the sheds). Maria explained the best places to eat & drink in Porto. She is clearly very proud of this city that is very kids-friendly. We stayed with 2 adults & 2 children (5 & 7) in the apartment and visited Porto on foot, partially by the nice vintage trams & by bus. Tip: try and walk the metro bridge on foot with the kids, astonishing views. Restaurants are a close by or avg 20 min walk from the apartment. At night the ground floor of the apartment (where the kids slept) was noisy because of the pubs on the square, until late at night unfortunately. We have kids that will sleep through a hurricane but we feel this is important to know.
