We stayed at Casa da Raquel for three nights at the end of September and loved it. It is in a laneway so there is no traffic noise. We could sometimes hear the neighbours as the houses are so close together, but nothing after early evening and we slept well every night. Raquel told us about good places to eat and where everything was such as the local bakery and supermarket. The apartment had everything we needed and the decor is gorgeous. It was easy to walk to everywhere we wanted to go, we just wish we had longer to spend in lovely Porto. If we are lucky enough to return, Casa da Raquel would be our first choice for accommodation
