We booked Nuno's cosy nest apartment because it was in Alfama and we were advised that this was a great place to stay. The apartment is in the heart of the old district of Lisbon and was the perfect location for our 7 day visit.
As this was our first time to Lisbon so we were a little worried about how we would find the apartment but Nuno gave us clear information and advice on how to get there and even though our flight was delayed by an hour Nuno was waiting in the square when our taxi arrived.
He really was the perfect host.
He gave us invaluable tips on travelling around the city as well as suggestions on places for us to visit and restaurants for us to try.
The apartment itself was "cosy" as the description but it was comfortable and well equiped.
Alfama is a very busy district with very narrow streets which can be quite noisy especially in the early hours of the morning however we found the bed so comfortable we slept like logs!
There were some amazing restaurants, cafes and bars all within walking distance which added to the charm of the apartment.
The only negative about the "cosy nest" was the bedroom was very warm and due to the nature of the buildings in Alfama air condition is not always possible. A rotating fan was provided which did help with the heat.
My wife and I loved our stay in Lisbon and would definitely recommend Nunos apartment to any travellers looking to spent time in such a beautiful city.
