Marlene's place was perfect for us! It was in a beautiful location across the river from Porto, which allowed for a beautiful view just steps outside the front door. We were also minutes from the Port wine caves, a metro/train station, and the bridge leading over to Porto (you can walk right into the city centre in 20-30 minutes). Marlene provided all amenities, and even included a sample of port wine which was a lovely touch. We can't recommend enough!
