Gil is a very welcoming host, not to mention a charming and talented musician! It was a treat to share a moment with him and Therese, and a lovely poet friend of theirs, and hear about Gil's music and life in Lisboa.
The room (room 1) is spacious enough, the bed is very comfortable and the black-out shade effective. Everything was very clean and convenient.
One reason I chose Gil's place was for the 'quieter' location. If this is the case for you, just be aware that during the month of June (from what I understand), there are typically many street parties that last well past midnight. Friday and Saturday night the music was very loud and kept me up. The locals were having a great time, might as well join in if this happens ;)
I would definitely recommend staying at Gil's. Not having access to the kitchen was not a problem at all.
Thanks to Nuno, as well, for his super communication before and during my stay. He managed my booking and gave me all the details needed for finding and accessing the apartment.
Thanks!
