Staying with Rui is like visiting an old friend. He is warm, open, offering intelligent conversation, and goes out of his way to help and offer advice about Lisbon. His apartment is walking distance from many major sights, and some minor ones you might not find in a guide book, such as a truly local fado bar and excellent hole-in-the-wall restaurants. True to the name of his listing, Rui also offers excellent recommendations for Portuguese literature. My wife and I were absolutely happy with our stay.
