Rui is the definition of what it means to be a super host. Not only does he communicate quickly but very efficiently. When I arrived, he really took the time to walk me through the whole space and then proceeded to share with me some cool facts about the room. Rui makes you feel like you're family.
I would DEFINITELY return to this space again if I stay in Lisbon. The location is in a nice area and close enough for a decent 15-20 minute walk to all the main tourist spots but just far enough to feel private. I was able to walk to all the recommended places that Rui suggested for food and coffee.
The room is very comfortable, the bed is nice and soft, and the bathroom is in great condition. I loved the additional details that Rui provided. He had a bottle of water in the fridge, plates and table ware for eating, a tea kettle, and umbrellas (which are extremely helpful). I recommend packing some slippers to protect the beautiful wood floors. It tends to get a bit noisy at night if you're not used to the city life experience so maybe bring something to help you sleep.
As a solo female traveler, I felt extremely safe coming here. You can walk to this space from the Metro and it's less than 15 minutes away. I took an UBER in the morning heading back to the airport and it was easy.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND this location for your first time in Lisbon.
