Definitely the best choice I could make to stay in Lisbon. Rui welcomed me in the nicest possible way, made feel immediately confortable and well acquainted with the Graça district (which is one of Lisbon's most genuine and beautiful spots). At a few steps from Vila Berta (an enchanting, almost hidden street from the beginning of the XX century), where Rui's apartment is located, there is the famous E28 tram going straight to Alfama, Baixa/Chiado, Praça do Comercio and Cais do Sodré. Furthermore, in two walking minutes you'll be at the Miradouro da Graça (perhaps my favourite: you can spot at the same time the Castelo and the 25 de Abril Bridge), in less then ten minutes you can reach Sao Vicente de Fora's church and its amazing Azulejos.

What can I say then about the apartment? The house of books is exactly as charming as it appears on its pictures: it is cozy, clean, fully equipped, sun-drenched and...full of great books! The bedroom was confortable and clean, and Rui was really a great host: me and my girlfriend enjoyed very much the breakfasts, his great homemade gazpachos, lemonades and fruit smoothies. He also gave us precious informations about nearby grocerystores, coffeeshops and restaurants, and we loved our talks about music, literature and art.

Looking forward to my next time in Lisbon, I definitely recommend Rui's place and his exquisite company. Obrigado por tudo, ciao Rui!
