Maria is a wonderful host who went out of her way to make us comfortable in her home. Her place is in the perfect location to enjoy Porto. Watching the waves crash into the rocks from her balcony was just amazing and I have to say that her place and the view is much better than the pictures. Parking was a cinch and there were so many spectacular restaurants within walking distance (Terra and Caffeine to name just 2, and don’t miss Mademoiselle for amazing breakfast and real croissants). All that stuff is great, but the best part of Maria’s place is meeting Maria herself....!!!
