My mother and I stayed at Rui's during our trip to Portugal. He was a very gracious host, and very quick with communications. Our fight arrived early in the day, and he let us drop our luggage in the apartment before heading out to explore the city, even though we arrived before the official check-in. He even met us upon arrival, and lugged our bag up all those stairs. The apartment itself was spotless, and offered very beautiful views of Lisbon. We were happy to start our trip here! Many thanks.
