Rui is the best possible host. He greeted us warmly, shared his space with us generously, prepared beautiful breakfasts, gave us a great deal of information about what we would find in the neighborhood and elsewhere, arranged the taxi to take us to the bus station when we left, and engaged in interesting gentle conversation with us when we were together. It is a privilege to meet him. We look forward to spending time with him over coffee, when our trip brings us back to Lisbon in a week.
The apartment is in a beautiful quiet neighborhood just a block away from market district and a 10 minute walk away from one of the best views in Lisbon.
The bed is comfortable, the shower is very good, and the views from the apartment are lovely.
Space is tight, which made it a bit of a challenge to organize our belongings and to work around one another in the small room, but this minor drawback is more than offset by Rui's kindness and easy friendliness.
