Mariana's place is welcoming and inviting. She put in a lot of extra touches to make it feel like a cozy home. The location is convenient, < 10 min walk to Rua das Flores, the train and metro, the bridge and Rua de Catarina. Communication was very good. I have to agree with another reviewer that it is on the chillier side in the winter. Mariana made sure there were extra blankets on hand which I appreciate.
