Nino's place is a great location to discover Lisbon. You are easily in the city center or in a metro station to go to other places further away. There are lots of nice cafes and restaurants in the area. We had some bad luck that there were still renovations going on in the building, but Nino was very nice about it, gave us a discount and was responsive and helpful during our whole stay. We were only with two persons in the apartment, which is fine, but for three people it might be a bit small. There is a tapas restaurant almost around the corner (Fumeiro de Santa Catarina) which is really worth a visit. Also lots of hipster breakfast cafes nearby and more traditional bakeries with good coffee. Great stay for a week visit to explore the city!
