Rui is very responsive, hospitable, and helpful. The apartment is located on a central but quiet narrow alley. The sidewalks are mosaic and the street is cobblestones, so your suitcases need sturdy wheels. It’s in a charming neighborhood where tourists take pictures. From the balcony you can observe how the Portuguese live. There are three guest rooms. It’s nice that each room has its own bathroom, albeit not ensuite. The shared living spaces, especially the large well-equipped and stocked (coffee, tea, oil, salt, fruits) kitchen make up for the small rooms. The laundry machine and drying racks are a plus. There is a sewer odor in the bathroom which is likely common in old buildings.
