Even though we had some problem the first night because of the fact that the bathroom in our room was broken, his apartment was clean, small but comfy. Helder gave us back the money of the first night and let us stay in an apartment of his own near the city center. Even if the second room wasn't really clean he brought us fresh clean sheets.
The kitchen was small but had everything we needed.
I suggest to stay in his apartment for few days, not more than that. Close to the metro and some shops.
