I still don't understand why people in this day and age prefer to stay in a hotel when there is nothing better than staying close to the culture you are visiting. Rui's place is an example of this. We were greeted by Tiago, Rui's friend, who was very helpful and friendly and was available all the time for any questions we had. The apartment itself is great, just as advertised and very spacious. We stayed with my wife and two year old daughter and could not have gotten a better deal. The neighborhood is great: the metro stop is around the corner, and from there you are 3-4 stops from the historic Lisbon. There is also a market, a restaurant and a great bakery in the same block.
We had a rental car and having private parking was a great perk.
I cannot recommend this place enough!
