Nuno's friend Carla provided a perfect introduction to Lisbon upon our arrival at this gem of an apartment in the quiet suburb of Lapa. Nuno also made us feel welcome by offering his help if we needed anything. The apartment was spotlessly clean and had all the amenities required for a comfortable stay, much better a hotel! The patio was an added bonus and stayed cool even in the heat of the sun. There are taxis available at any time of the day/night just around the corner which adds to the apartment's convenience, although a walk to the centre takes no longer than 20 minutes, taking in some of the areas less crowded with tourists. We would also recommend the Boutique Doce café for delicious pastries and a coffee in the morning, perfect for breakfast. I would not hesitate to recommend Lisbon and this apartment to my friends and family.
