We had a wonderful holiday staying in Isabel and Rui's gorgeous apartment and would highly recommend it to anybody planning a trip to Portugal.
The apartment is in an area called Graca, which is a great area to stay. There is a little shop right next door and it is only a few minutes walk to get to the main Graca square. From there you can easily walk into the historic Castle area, central Lisbon and Alfama. The walk back is harder as uphill, but we enjoyed it as it meant we could eat the delicious Portugese food with less guilt! There are also buses, trams and taxis to make life easier - taxis are very good value in Lisbon.
The apartment itself is gorgeous! Really beautifully done. It has everything you need for a short or longer break (we stayed 9 days) and is a very comfortable place to stay. The bed was very comfortable and thanks to the shutters we slept very well.
The kitchen is well appointed and the lounge area very comfortable too. The bathroom is lovely and the shower very good. There is also a small balcony and the apartment is beautifully decorated.
Our hosts were very helpful - Isabel met us when we arrived and gave us lots of useful information. She was always available to contact during our stay too.
We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone sinning to visit wonderful Lisbon!
