Rui was a great host, very friendly and helped us get our bearings when we first arrived. We were visiting friends over New Year and found the central location ideal. The apartment has been quite recently renovated and everything is very modern. The only downside was that the apartment's sole heating was a plug-in radiator in the sitting room - it meant the bedroom could be quite cold. It seems quite normal in Portugal for older buildings not to have central heating - more something we're used to from home! Overall a lovely stay.
