We were very happy with our stay at Mario’s place. As promised, he was waiting for us when we arrived from the airport and showed us the room as well as providing some general information and suggestions for the neighbourhood and Porto more generally. The location is really perfect, away from any noisy streets but only a few minutes walking to all the popular areas. As others have said, the space is small, but we found it to be just fine as a base for exploring the city. Though it could be a challenge if you have lots of luggage as storage is pretty limited. There are a few kitchen amenities, such as a microwave, coffee maker, panini press, fridge, and sink which were all we needed for breakfasts before heading out into the city. Food in Porto is very good, and very affordable, so we felt no need to cook meals in the apartment. The shower works well and, as with the rest of the apartment, seems relatively newly renovated and in good condition. Overall, very happy with our stay here.
