Maria was a great host. We stayed at her place for 5 nights and it was absolutely perfect for the three of us girls. The apartment is small but very cozy, clean and confortable. Maria gave us a warm welcome and she was very flexible with our arrival time which was not as planned since our plane had a delay of 2 hours. We also liked the area as it is very well located. There are a lot of nice restaurants and cafe places close by and the bar area is only 10 min walking distance. Furthermore Maria gave us a lot of ideas what we could check out in the city and where we could go for food. The only disadvatage is the parking possibility which is by the way difficult everywhere in Porto. This had nothing to do with Marias place or instruction but I would like to mention it for everyone else who might face the problem in the future. Maria gave us two streets where it should have been free to park but it seems like they changed that over the last couple months. It was not that big of a deal as we parked the car in a parking on the same street where the apartment is (just drive all the way down, you will find it on the left side of the street if you keep your eyes open) You can leave your car there for 24 hours and pay around 15 Euros. Apart from that we really enjoyed our stay and we would definitely stay at Marias place again in the future.
