The studio apartment was great, the air conditioning was a blessing after a long hot day of sightseeing and the garden is beautiful to sit/eat out in. Teresa met us when we arrived and was really helpful and friendly, she solved any issues we had straight away and we were able to leave our bags at the Lisbon Collections’ office after check out til our flight time.
The Graca area was a really good place to stay, real Lisbon and non-touristy and a short walk to Alfama and Castelo. The 735 bus from Rue Washington adjacent to the apartment is really useful going past the main square in the city centre to Cais do Sodre train station for any trips to Belem etc. There is a great wee Italian called DaVito 10 minutes away and the nearest supermarket we found (Pingo Doce) was a 15 minute walk with great wee eaterie/bar/hangout spot round the corner called Ma Lingua on Rua da Senhora do Monte.
