Rui’s place locates in a lovely historical neighborhood, and because it is on the top of the hill you can even see the river from the living room and kitchen.
The apartment is cozy and has a large collection of books in multiple languages. Unlike staying in a standardized vacation apartment, staying at this apartment of books gave us a window to also have glimpse of the local culture scene and life - and we really appreciated Rui’s generosity to share the place as well access to his collections. We were also welcomed with fruits, invitation to his gallery, recommendations on museums and cafes to visit, and a Bolo Rei. We enjoyed the stay and would totally recommend it to future guests!
