Nuno was a great host. He was there on my arrival to help me with my bags and to check in. He even checked to make sure that the taxi driver was not ripping me off on my taxi fare.
He showed me around the nice clean apartment on the ground floor which had everything I needed. Some evenings could get chilly or really hot so there was an electric heater and fan in the apartment. Kitchen and bathroom was clean with all the essential required with a lot of coffee, fruit and a bottle of wine on arrival. He made me feel very comfortable in the apartment and the area I was staying in.
Nuno took the time out to sit down with me with a map to recommend places to go and see to make sure my time and experience in Lisbon was an excellent one. I even asked him about places I want to go and see and he gave me great advice on everything. He even told me which areas outside of Lisbon to avoid and which places are a rip off on prices. He made me feel very assured about my safety in the apartment and the area and I was very safe at all hours every single day. The apartment is in a great location to everything that you need. There is a great park less than 5 mins away with a restaurant inside it which does some great food. Bairro Alto has loads of bars, shops and places to eat. Downtown by the sea is amazing near the square. Loads of places to eat, drink and chillout while you listen to some amazing local street musicians. Everything I did on my trip was everything Nuno recommended.
On my last day Benfica won the national league and Nuno insisted that I went to the street party at Pombal Square to really experience Lisbon and the culture of how pleasant and happy the people are. It was one of the best things I experienced there.
Great city, great people, great places. I won't ever hesitate to book with Nuno, he is a perfect host and a gentleman to his guest. On my departure he even seen me off and we went for a drink and talked loads. We have become great friends and I believe I got more than my money's worth with Nuno. I felt I paid him too little but he taught me so much about Portuguese culture and I know that God will bless him for his kindness and good heart
