Nuno met us at a nearby cafe and helped us transport our luggage to his beautiful apartment which is located in the midst of Bairro Alto, a festive neighborhood with restaurants, shops and fado clubs nearby. t is within walking distance of everything we needed and wanted. The neighborhood itself was quiet even though the area was very active. Nuno was informative, knowledgeable, fun to be with, and enthusiastic about his city and this neighborhood . He gave us great recommendations for restaurants and things to do, provided us with a really helpful guidebook, and really made us feel at home.

The studio apartment was immaculate. He had a bottle local wine and a fruit bowl to welcome us. The kitchen was well stocked. The room was decorated very nicely and the place was lovely. We felt very safe in the home and the neighborhood. One thing to note is that the bed is a true double, small for my 6 foot 4 husband, but was very comfortable. The two couches were also available for sleeping. We loved this apartment and it felt like home.
