Raquel is the most friendly, welcoming host for a stay in Matosinhos with the room and apartment being a perfect location to explore the nearby town and Porto which is easily reached using the Metro system. The local beaches and City Park are very nice, as are the many bars and restaurants within easy walking distance (most notably the fish restaurants on Rua Herois De Franca). Raquel is extremely helpful in giving advice, recommending places to visit and things to do and she goes to great lengths in preparing a delicious breakfast everyday, with fresh baked bread, pastries, fresh fruit and homemade jam. We would certainly stay with Raquel again in the future if we were to return to Porto; I highly recommend this accommodation.
