We absolutely loved our stay at Marco's apartment. The listing was very accurate and the apartment was actually even better than the pictures. It's just so charming. It was like stepping back in time (in the best way), with all of the modern amenities you could ask for. The kitchen was well equipped, with a kettle for hot water, coffee maker, toaster, microwave and of course a stove. We stayed for 10 days and appreciated the washing machine and clothes line.
The apartment is ideally located. There were almost too many restaurants to choose from within a block or two. There's a large grocery store just steps away. It was a very easy walk to every major tourist attraction and Sao Bento for day trips. And even though it's on a major street and a large square, it's very quiet.
And on another note, we ended up arriving in Porto several hours before we planned. Marco's mother-in-law was amazing and quickly prepared the apartment. We arrived to a sparkling clean place and were greeted with such a kind welcome. That was the best part. We'll be back for sure!
