As others have said already, Laura's place is beautiful and very welcoming. Nice touches like fresh vegetables from her garden and fresh flowers and plants throughout the space. There is lots of room to relax and the kitchen is great for quick meals. The location is quiet - slightly outside of the downtown core of Porto which was a nice change as the downtown and waterfront areas are very busy. We walked everywhere, though for those who do not want to do that, public transportation is very accessible. We had a car and arrived on the weekend and were able to park on the street and leave the car for the full time with no concerns.
