We spent 5 nights at Maria’s. The apartment is perfectly positioned with lovely views of the sea. There are excellent restaurants and well-stocked supermarkets close by. The walk along the river to Porto old town takes about an hour and there are frequent buses.
The weather was sunny and bright, but cold at night so we needed the heaters and extra duvet that Maria provided. I was also glad to have brought a hot water bottle.
Nevertheless we made good use of the balcony in the evenings and saw lovely sunsets.
The kitchen seems well equipped, but we are out more than we planned to as the restaurants are so good. Maria gave us some excellent recommendations :)
Getting to and from the airport was a quick straightforward taxi ride.
