We stayed at Rui’s place for a few days. He’s a very nice host – very friendly and supportive, always answered our requests very quickly.
Rui warmly greeted us upon arrival (which even included some port and pastel de nata! – totally unexpected and super-nice) and shared a few tips on places to eat at.

The flat is indeed just lovely: cosy and furnished with lots of taste and care to the traveller. Very clean, seems like brand-new.
You’ll find everything you need for a comfortable stay (even clothes pegs should you use the washing machine as well as city maps!).
Although the flat is not located immediately in the historical centre, it’s quite close and well connected: subway, buses and trams are in a few minute -minute walk.

I particularly recommend a tiny grocery store right in front of the building door: it offers fantastic fruit and veggies (I believe the best tomatoes and melons I’ve eaten in the last few years) and freshly baked pastry (be quick in the morning before it’s gone!). The store’s outlook is nothing but fancy but don’t get lured away by the looks!

Two important details:
1) getting to the city centre will require you to go downhill for a few minutes… and up on the way back. =) Typically totally fine for everyone but might be a challenge if you’re travelling with a pram or a handicapped person. However, this holds true for most Lisbon. =)

2) there’re currently some construction works in process nearby which we could only hear in the mornings (as we’re not early birds). It’s not bad but you might consider bringing earplugs.

All in all, it’s a great price-value combination.
