We had an amazing experience in Rui's apartment! I was travelling with a couple of friends in order to run a race in Lisbon, so we wanted to stay somewhere private so we were able to get good sleep the night before our race. Rui's place was perfect. The apartment is nestled in a bustling little alleyway neighborhood in Alfama, to where you can definitely enjoy Lisbon as a local. There were great little coffee shops and grocery markets nearby, along with great restaurants and live Fado. It was hard to even tour other areas of Lisbon because we did not want to leave the neighborghood.

In addition, Rui made hinself very available. From meeting us as soon as we landed to give us the keys to answering every question we had about Lisbon itself turing the trip to calling us an early morning cab to take us back to the airport, Rui was extremely helpful.
