firstly, Carlos is a wonderful host and is very attentive, kind and easy to reach if needed. the apartment was very clean and aesthetically pleasing. a couple of things to note… we were there in late november and found the apartment cold and damp. typical for many historic buildings in portugal so not a big deal. the kitchen was very nice to have for quick snacks and breakfast, but not a practical kitchen for cooking dinner or larger meals as there is no space to prepare the food or store food. there is street parking you must pay for outside of the apartment. if you are traveling as a couple, i would recommend this place for a short and affordable stay, but not if you have a child or any extra guests. the location is great, everything you need is close by and we enjoyed the beautiful views and livelihood of the Graça neighbourhood.
