Rui and Ana are the perfect hosts. Our flights were delayed and we didn't arrive until nearly midnight, but Rui waited patiently for us and kindly showed us around his beautiful apartment. He even gave us some delicious pastel de nata and local wine.
The place itself is on the 4th floor of a gorgeous old apartment building in the very heart of Bairro Alto. At night, right outside the front door the street is crammed with revellers enjoying the best of Lisbon's nightlife. But upstairs the flat is lovely and quiet and feels a world away from it all. The view is wonderful and the apartment is very light and airy, beautifully decorated, comfortable and well equipped.
I'd recommend Rui and Ana's place to anyone visiting Lisbon. It's very central, with great shopping, restaurants and entertainment on your doorstep. The 28 tram is at just the end of the street and the metro is only 5 minutes away. And it's also just a gorgeous place to relax and unwind among the rooftops.
Very highly recommended!
