What a great AirBnB! I had a wonderful stay with Rui for my three day stay in Lisbon.
A true BnB experience, Rui makes you an excellent breakfast every morning and chats with you about whatever comes to mind. It’s a great way to kick off your morning! He was even feeling under the weather one morning, but he still went out and picked up bread and prepared breakfast for us.
Rui’s place is in a great location, right in the heart of the Graça neighborhood. There’s plenty of food options within a couple blocks, and it’s an easy 10 minute walk downhill to Alfama if you want to take in a fado show. There is also a great spot about 5 minutes away that is the highest point in town with fantastic views of the city. (Pro tip: grab a bottle of wine or a beer and go to this spot to watch the sunset!)
The apartment itself is as described, a house of books! The room has ample space and good lighting with a comfortable bed. The whole apartment is very cozy.
Overall, you can’t go wrong staying at the House or Books. Great host, great location, great space. Highly recommend!
