We enjoyed our stay in Porto. Raquel's mother made us very welcome and the room is bright and spacious. With it's location close to the Douro River on the Villa Nova de Gaia bank, its very easy to catch the Metro or just walk into town. Raquel's mum had very good suggestions for restaurants (the vegetarian one was excellent with a buffet including interesting green salads) and places to visit. We hope to return one day.
