Casa da Paz was a great home-away-from-home for us in Porto. It is stylish but homey, and was impeccably clean upon our arrival. Although small, the kitchen has all the amenities you will likely need and included some handy pantry items like tea, vinegars, spices, pasta, etc. The garden is also lovely to relax in after a day of sightseeing.
Gabriela was a responsive and accommodating host, both before and during our stay. She booked a Douro River tour for us and was always prompt and thorough in her communications. She has also produced a great Porto guidebook with local suggestions and ‘must sees’ - we found it helpful.
