Mario's place is conveniently located next to a metro stop and is walking distance to the historic area of Porto. I loved the neighborhood's mix of old buildings and small local bars and cafes, with a few gastronomic restaurants, Seattle style coffee shops and art studios scattered throughout. It is obviously a neighborhood in transition. The apartment is in an old building that was recently renovated in very nice taste. My room was spacious and beautiful, and the bed was very comfortable with hotel quality sheets.I thoughly enjoyed my stay.
