My wife and I stayed at Renato's place for four nights, 14-18 May. We arrived by taxi from the airport, and to our great surprise Renato was waiting at the very spot where the taxi dropped us. Renato was very welcoming and enthusiastic, and gave us some great recommendations for restaurants (make sure you go to the one for "the best grilled octopus"... ). The apartment was spotlessly clean, had a comfortable bed in a huge bedroom (and best of all: it really was quiet at night, perhaps needing to close the windows just to keep out some very low level noise, and no late night - or even daytime - TV noises from anywhere), had a well-fitted kitchen, and a quiet garden at the back. There is a good supermarket a minute's walk away, and loads of coffee/cake cafes; I especially recommend this one: Confeitaria do Bolhão, on Rua Formosa, just 1-2 minute walk from Renato's; I regret we only found it late in our stay, otherwise we would have gone there every morning for breakfast. For anyone interested in Portuguese films I strongly suggest going to the FNAC store, where I had the good fortune to encounter a most helpful and enthusiastic assistant in the DVD section (I bought ten boxed sets). Finally we recommend Renato's as a place to stay; it's as good a place as any we've ever stayed in. Renato: muito obrigado!!
