Fantastic location, very clean and comfortable apartment with everything you need to enjoy your stay. We loved that we could walk to town in minutes and the waterfront in about 15 minutes. The building and street are very quiet at night. Plenty of restaurants and cafes in the neighborhood. Maria and her husband met us at check-in which we really appreciated after a long day of traveling. Maria was the perfect host - showing us everything in the apartment and even leaving some port wine for us to enjoy! For an authentic local Portuguese meal, Maria recommended Adega Do Carregal which was minutes from the apartment. Fantastic recommendation - we ate there multiple times! Unbeknownst to us, during our stay, Porto was celebrating their biggest festival of the year - Eve of St. John. Maria warned us it was a huge party and the streets would be lively until sunrise. Part of the tradition is for people to tap other people's heads with a toy plastic hammer. Maria gave us two hammers so we could have some fun. Overall, you can tell that Maria takes a lot of pride in her apartment and truly wants her guests to feel welcomed and taken care of. We will definitely be returning to Porto and will stay here again!
