Catia's apartment in the Graca area of Lisbon is very spacious and comfortable. Her aunt lives on the floor above and is the hostess since Catia lives overseas. She only speaks Portuguese, which is a bit of an issue in getting oriented in the apartment and in the neighborhood. The apartment is in quite good shape, the stove is electric and new, the shower is very nice, the only issue is the door does not quite close so water leaks out. We really appreciated the Hi-Def TV which had English language stations. The bed was comfortable. We used the washer, and dried the clothes on the patio.

This is an outstanding apartment in a secure area and we would recommend it to anyone, especially experienced travelers.
