We had the most wonderful stay at Isabel and Rui's gorgeous apartment in lovely Graça.

The apartment is decorated so beautifully it feels like a boutique hotel, with gorgeous furnishings, and all the amenities you could possibly need, like a coffee machine, washing machine and dishwasher.

Isabel gave us such a warm welcome, leaving us a bottle of wine to enjoy on the balcony over looking the River Tagus, and talking us through anything and everything we could possibly want to know about the best places to visit in and around the city.

Graça is a beautiful and homely neighbourhood; we made great friends with the very kind shopkeeper next door who helped us with our Portuguese (to much laughter from us all at our pronunciation!), and the apartment is located on a quiet street in an attractive building, but with easy access to the whole city.

I highly recommend this lovely apartment in its great, authentic Lisbon location.
