Rui was a wonderful host and made us feel very welcome in his house. The house was spectacular and very comfortable. When we needed help navigating the city, Rui was more than helpful. We would recommend this rental to anyone. You can expect a very pleasant stay. All necessary amenities were provided. Being close to the palace was very helpful for navigation, since we don't speak Portuguese. Having said that, the language difference did not impede our communication with our host.
