Like so many of the other reviews, we fell in love with the area, the view and Rui's fabulous home away from home. We hadn't been to Portugal before and weren't sure of the location we wanted to stay in...we made the right choice. We enjoyed the more historical parts of the city which were within walking distance. There are several historical buildings to see in the area, too many great restaurants for us to experience in our week stay, and the local market was a fun way to spend part of the day. Rui's place was clean, functional for our family of three and the view was spectacular. All of the restaurants below had great food and service. We especially loved the Acores for dinner and happy hour. They treated us so well there. Rui made the check-in seamless and was kind enough to check in on us halfway through the week just to make sure we had everything we needed. We highly recommend Rui's place!
