Maire was the best host ever. She met us at the apartment, helped us with our bicycles!, showed us the details of the place. The apartment is impeccable. She then took us on a tour of the neigborhood. She showed us the best bakeries, book store, restaurants . . . and made us feel so welcome.

The neighborhood is lively but if you want to shut out the night life the windows are double-paned and very effective so it's quiet.

When we decided to spend another night in Porto, Maria helped us find another place since hers was not available.
