Mariana's appartement is situated on the main avenue of the city.
Its not on the old part of the port, but it's very nice when you come from the airport and you have everything (metro, buses, shops, grocery stores...) near the place. I'd recommend it because it is near casa da musica, where you can go to free concerts, and have a very nice and cheap breakfast. you can also walk to the port and enjoy the "Jardins do Palácio de Cristal" on your trip.
I liked the seagull's awakening. The appartement was clean, had everything we needed.
Marianna's mother gave us many advices at arrival. Marianna was always answering fast when we had questions. We couldn't ask for more.
