Nuno has good communication and his father was very kind meeting us as we had quite a late arrival. The apartment is 'cosy' but enough for 4 to stay for a few days. It's situated on the edge of the historic area so very good for getting about on foot. No need for a car. Thre are lots of restaurants (similar menus, about €15 a head) and bars all over the city, but you do hear the voices from these at night. Our 'neighbour' could be a bit noisy at times, but I would think they were also tourists.From the airport the taxi fare was €26, or you could get the metro for €2,45. This is a friendly, vibrant city, an excellent way to spend a few days. Loved it!
