Rui is the perfect host. He is very discreet and charming. He has a good knowledge of Lisbon and its history should you need to know anything about the city. The room was perfect. It was a little slice of 18th century living, with double height ceilings( a trompe l'oile on the ceiling). Beautiful parque floor and comfortable furnishings.
The house is set on a quite street very close to the fashionable part of Bairro Alto. Although, you are never very far from the action anywhere in Lisbon
