Rui’s House of Books is located in a prime neighbourhood to explore the historic areas of Lisbon. The street is quite quiet which is nice given the hustle and bustle of busy Lisbon. Rui was very quick to communicate with us, made a 2am taxi reservation for us as well as a dinner reservation at a nearby restaurant and he’s an interesting source of information on Lisbon. The bed was very comfortable as well.
Be aware though that this apartment is home to not just some books but several thousand of them! They are housed on both shelves and stacked against pretty much all walls of the living area and on one wall of the bedroom as well. This means there is very little space to move around or even store your luggage. We were grateful for having the opportunity to get a few hours rest before our flight home but still, some space to move about would have made this one night rental a more positive experience.
