Mariana is a great host. I had the best time in her house. Her place was exactly what I needed. I was traveling solo and it was perfect! The neighborhood had a wonderful takeaway place where I got most of my meals from. Supermarket is close by. So many choices of restaurants. Also, everything was walking distance from Mariana’s place. Wonderful market I visited everyday on my way back from day tours. Mariana showed me all the places to visit on a map. I used that to see everything I wanted to. I had a great time and she she was always so responsive to all my messages. I would highly recommend. I am already thinking of going back :) She left a bottle of Port which was most welcome. Porto is a wonderful place and her place is in an excellent location. It was quiet at night and not noisy at all. Also there is an elevator in the building which is a definite plus.
