would (and hope to) stay again! a friend and I, both expatriates in Portugal, decided to spend Christmas in Porto and the apartment was perfect even for such a "homely" holiday. Maria Amélia was welcoming and considerate from the very start, and even provided us some pepper and oil for us to cook our Christmas dinner. the only "but" is that we experienced some difficulty to contact her after booking confirmation until a day before arriving in Porto, but it was quickly resolved and turns out she had had a family issue. overall, the apartment was well equipped, cosy and rennovated (despite its location in Porto's historical district), and fulfilled all our needs. also, the apartment is very well located, near to the Douro river and within the city centre itself. all in all, highly recommended!
