Raquels place is very cozy and quiet. The apartment is a little smaller than the pictures make it seem, but that didn't bother us at all, as it had all the things we needed and more.
The apartment is at the top of the hill and walking up at the end of the day can be a bit of a challenge, but after a few days we got used to it and started to enjoy it. The surroundings are beautiful and unique, while there's plenty of interesting shops and cafes around.
Silvia met us and made sure to answer all our questions. There was also a nice welcoming gift and Raquel is making a super tasty ginjinha.
