Rui met us (two generations) at the station. His place is very central for transport, local restaurants & walkable to several tourist attractions. Rui is an excellent host. His knowledge of tourist attractions, local & long distance transport is excellent. He spent time to guide us, make suggestions, plan our outings even trips out of Lisbon. We were able to enjoy local cuisine, Rui personally took us to family run restaurants ( cook, waiters, cashier - mother, father, children), explained the menu & spoke to the owners. He saved our holiday, by going out of his way, my son fell ill, he consulted a physician friend & got the medication. Breakfast with him was enjoyable, to catch up on Portuguese folklore, traditions and legends. I have stayed with several hosts in several countries, Rui is really 5 star, the best so far. This is really helpful as English is not spoken locally, not only in Portugal but in most countries.
