I booked Nuno’a place for a month purely off of the reviews that I had read. I was not disappointed at all! I had such a lovely stay at Nuno’s place and was sad to leave.
The space is large and open, with lots of natural light pouring in through windows. The kitchen has an incredible view over Lisbon and I recommend watching sunrise and sunset with a glass of wine here!
The front bedroom and living area are beautifully done and are a great place to relax or hangout. The apartment is also very quiet, as the windows are very thick and don’t let in any sound.
I also fell in love with the neighborhood, Lapa. It’s a traditional Portuguese neighborhood that’s away from the hustle and bustle of Bairro Alto (I wouldn’t want to stay there), but you’re still walking distance to all the restaurants and nightlife in that area. You absolutely must spend some time walking around and exploring this neighborhood. Walk over to Estrela park and enjoy the scenes there, it’s beautiful and quiet. You can have a glass of wine or a coffee at the kiosk in the park.
I recommend having your morning coffee with Pedro at “A Capoeira” just around the corner from Nunos apartment on Rua das Pracas 76. He’s very friendly and whips up mean espressos for .80c. Just don’t expect a cappuccino ;) Tell him Sean the photographer sent you!
Enjoy your stay in Lisbon, you won’t regret Nunos place!
