Staying at Nuno's place was terrific for me, and I loved walking out into that particular street every day...a very vibrant part of Lisbon. For me, the location was not a problem, but for those not seeking to haul luggage up or down the hill or not wanting to hear noise of people outside late into the night...it may not be for you. Otherwise, you have so many cool places on the street and nearby. Estela de Bica is right out the door if you want grilled sardines for dinner, and right up the street there are numerous restaurants and bars to visit. I recommend going up the hill and visiting Bruno at Bar Baliza and eating at the restaurant next door - Os Bons Maladrones. It is also very close to the Mercado de Ribeira and the river - which is a great place to take a bottle of wine at night and watch the sunset. Nuno was the perfect host, checking in with me every couple of days to see if I needed anything. I especially loved the added touch of the wine and sardine snack awaiting my arrival. I was very comfortable with the place, and would stay there again.
