Maria and Carlos' apartment in the centre of the old part of town is wonderfully comfortable, well equipped and so well located near to many of the things visitors to Porto will want to see and do. Having off-street, secure parking right next to the apartment was a great bonus, and we left it there for the whole stay, as everything we wanted to do was within walking distance. There is a mini-mercado a few doors away, and cafes and bars very close by. There is great dining down by the water, and it's an easy walk to the high bridge, then down the chairlift on the Gaia side for some port tastings. Don't miss the photography museum (currently housing an exhibit of Frieda Kahlo works). We thoroughly recommend Maria's apartment - very comfortable, super clean, and you'll likely receive the same warmest of welcomes as we did. 110% !!
