Nuno's place was absolutely brilliant!
Location perfect - sat on the central strip between Bairro Alto and the Old City. Around the corner from 'Elevador de Santa Justa', 5 minute walk to the main square (on the waterfront) and a few doors up from one of the best Pastéis de Nata bakeries in the city (yum!). The apartment was just like the photos, if not better. Spacious, bright and all the cooler for having air-conditioning - something that made our stay so much more comfortable and shouldn't be taken for granted on Summer nights.
Nuno was great at communicating at key stages and answered our questioning promptly. Check-in was really smooth - we arrived earlier than the 'official' check-in time and Nuno arranged for us to be able to leave our luggage in our apartment whilst the cleaner was turning it over. Speaking of the cleaner, she was an absolute dream! Such a positive, friendly face and a warm welcome to our holiday ☺️
Check-out was equally as straight forward. We were able to leave our luggage in Nuno's shop next door to the apartment block and pick it up as and when we needed it. Couldn't have asked for anything better!
The apartment was surprisingly quiet given its central location and was perfect for people watching in the twin-bedroom's window seat. All the appliances you could need; hairdryer, fridge freezer, loads of coat hangers, toiletries (shampoo and shower gel) etc. A few others have stated it and is mentioned in the listing description, but the apartment is on the third floor with a steep set of stairs to it, not a problem for us, but it's worth considering if accessibility is a potential issue!
All in all, a great trip made even greater by Nuno's apartment! Thanks again, Claudia and James x
