Nuno was a good and very likeable host, communication with him was very easy and friendly. The experience of staying in this appartment gets its plus points from great location, utility and affordable price. You can have a pleasant walk to many sights, the river, the city centre or close-by restaurants (the portuguese one across the street is great!), food stores and bakeries (both just around the corner) and there is even a laundry service only a couple meters from the door. Most things you would need in an appartment are or can be provided by Nuno. The appartment even gets some charme points for its radio, a few decorative tiles and the unusual yet practical bedroom solution. The downside of the appartment is still comfort related. Especially the bathroom is as small as can be. Depending on the person turning around or bending over the sink might not be possible when the door is closed. The same is true for the shower, its just very hard and awkward to move in there. Furthermore, the appartment does not have a heater which I'm sure will not represent a problem in sommer. I have stayed there at end of March though and found it cold during the night, especially since the blanket provided was rather short.
All in all I can definitely recommend this place for young, individual travelers on a budget. Other target groups will want to carefully weigh pros and cons. I myself found the solution satisfactory overall.
