Nuno was very helpful in orienting us to the area, gave us a variety of tips on good places to go - food, wine, coffee, transit, sightseeing. He also met us at the subway station upon our arrival, and carried some of our luggage as we walked the hill to his Airbnb. On our last day, he allowed us to stay late into the evening without charging us, as we had a very early morning flight.

The Barrio Alto area has an endless supply of places to eat and listen to music, and was easy to access transit. Alfama neighbourhood was only about a 30 min walk. The apartment is in a busy location which did mean there were 3 nights of loud noise outside in the night.

The apartment itself is quite spacious for 2 people, but would be a little tight for 3 or 4 people. The shower stall door did not close entirely making showering awkward. Also the kitchen was adequate, but a bit small to do much cooking. Lastly, if you are not keen on stairs, there are 2 flights of stairs up to the apartment, and one more set to the bedroom upstairs. The apartment is quite private visually and felt safe.
