Casa da Paz is tucked nicely on the border of the historic town and the more modern city, a short walk from many destinations. The house was clean, recently renovated and a perfect, serene escape after galavanting across Porto. Gabriela (our host) sat us down and reviewed our sightseeing options for an hour when we arrived to ensure that we got the most out of our short visit. She went above and beyond when, realizing that I had left my laptop in the house, she met us at the train station on our way back through to drop it off. Casa da Paz is not in the midst of the tourist center, but that only lends to its peaceful feeling. Casa da Musica, however, is only a very short walk and well worth a visit. As is Petulia, a delicious cafe and bakery 1-2 blocks away! Muito obrigado!
