Nuno informed me a week before I came that he would be in Bolivia and that his friend would be welcoming me instead. While I don't know how different it would be with Nuno, Juão was such a treat. He was warm, personable and very likable. The apartment was well kept - and everything the photos say they would be. Right smack in the centre I didn't have to take a transport to most of the great areas - walking was the way to go! My experience in Lisbon would not have been the same if I had stayed somewhere else.
