We spent the month of January at Nuno's flat and it was great. Nuno met us for check-in and gave us lots of local info. The flat is bigger than we expected and very spacious for a couple, lots of natural light, modern, warm and comfortable, uncluttered but with all modcons. Nuno had very kindly installed faster wifi before we arrived as we are both freelancers and it worked perfectly. Lapa is very hilly and the flat is at the top of a particularly steep incline, which is fine if you like walking and good views. It's a 25-minute walk to the city centre but this is perfect if you want to live somewhere that feels local and is quiet. There are lots of good restaurants and cafes nearby, especially if you walk 10 minutes down the hill to Rua da Esperanca. We liked shopping in the market in Ourique and there is a Pingo Doce supermarket 5 minutes from the flat.
