Nuno is a fantastic host: enthusiastic, friendly, welcoming, altruistic, helpful and available - the first 25 minutes in the apartment was filled with bar/restaurant/cafe/beach/nightclub recommendations as well as funny anecdotes about life in Lisbon.

The place is perfectly situated, in one of the coolest areas of Lisbon, at night the surrounding streets come alive with bars and restaurants and during the day there are small boutique shops to marvel at.

The apartment itself is good. The bed is more of a King Single or Small Double, depends if you're a glass half full or empty kind of person, either way during our stay I took the couch and gave my girlfriend the bed just so we had a bit of room to stretch out - this was by no means horrible by the way as the couch is quite comfortable.

The kitchen (stocked with a welcoming bottle of red wine!) was good to make a snack but you probably won't use it to make a 3 course meal, but why would you with all the restaurants around you anyway. It had a fridge to keep the beers/water cold as well as a toaster and some pans to make breakfast in the mornings.

The only downside is the bathroom, which if you're asthmatic (like us) can prove a problem as it is an old, heritage area and the host can do very little renovations without council approval - that being said, there is definitely work that needs to be done and it did make the stay that bit less comfortable. Still, I'd recommend the place as in Nuno, you will have Lisbon's best salesman and a place in an area you'll remember.
