Rui's apartment is a contemporary, beautifully designed gem filled with art and collectible objects. The bedroom, dressing room and bathroom are spacious, clean, and comfortable. We had access to the kitchen, where he had a Nespresso coffee maker, and to the wonderful pool area which also had a lovely view. Rui greeted us warmly on arrival, and had some cheese and bread waiting for us. He is a friendly, considerate and flexible host and we enjoyed meeting him. On one occasion when we had difficulty getting a cab to take us to a dinner reservation, he took time from his dinner preparations and drove us down himself. The apartment is at the top of a hill, across from the Ajuda National Palace which is a wonderful place to visit. It is about a 20 minute walk down the hill to the main area where the monuments are located, and if you have difficulty walking the trip back up may be hard. Taxis, buses are available, and, if you have a car, parking is great near Rui's home.
