Nuno and friends were very helpful and accommodating in helping me "check in." I've had other poor experiences with this process with airbnb rentals, so I am very grateful for the consistent and reliable communication that I experienced with this rental. It definitely offset the construction that was very pervasive in the area. I recommend asking the status of construction in the neighborhood if you're expecting to spend relaxing time at the unit between the hours of 8 a.m. and 7 p.m.. Aside from that, the place was great! And ask your uber driver or taxi driver to pick up and drop you off at Largo Terreirinho (the street that the place is located on isn't big enough for cars).
