This was my first and best Airbnb experience! Raquel is a great host, communicating with her was easy from the beginning and everything went smoothly during the entire trip. When we arrived to Porto, she met us at the apartment and gave us lots of good advice as to where to go and what to see in the city, as well as going to the trouble of sending us a list of nice places to eat and drink. There could not be a better host!

The apartment in itself is small, but very comfortable and just perfect for two people. The kitchenette is well equipped and makes cooking your own meals a very appealing option. There are a lot of small cafes nearby as well, the nearest one being just downstairs in the same building - a very lovely place with the most friendly staff, I highly recommend trying their delicious baked goods! There are at least two small grocery stores and a pharmacy within a few minutes walking distance, so you don't ever have to stray far from the apartment to get your basic items.

We found the flat very well situated as it only takes 10 minutes by foot to get to the city centre and a bit more to the Ribeira area. The metro was very easy and quite cheap to use as well.

The only minus was that the noise of the traffic on the street carries into the flat quite well, so if you are a light sleeper, I would recommend bringing earplugs with you.

All in all we had a wonderful stay at Raquel's and I can warmly recommend her apartment to anyone thinking of travelling to Porto!
