This is a little apartment located in the quiet neighborhood of Graça, a residential zone for locals near downtown and the Alfama district (20-30 min walking form all the monuments and landmarks). There are many restaurants, pastries and markets around, including one of the greatest views of Lisbon at Nossa Senhora do Monte.
The apartment is amongst the hills of Lisbon, so prepare your legs for steep slopes, nevertheless, there are many buses that reach the surrounding streets. The nearest subway (Martim Moniz) is located downhill, 20 minutes walk).
The apartment itself is small, containing all the appliances one could ever imagine. It was spotlessly clean. It has a small interior backyard in which having breakfast is relaxing. The area is very quiet at night, even though it is at ground level and we slept with the windows slightly open we could not hear a thing.
Even though the apartment was great I have left the best for last, and that was the hospitality and kindness that Teresa and Duarte (Teresas' partner) showed us. They were always ready for any questions we might had and Duarte even gave us a tour of the surrounding area, recommending us places to visit/eat that were not tourist traps. Teresa even left us some Pasteis de Nata and some wine as a welcoming gift. Also, they offered themselves to keep our luggage before check in and after check out so we could begin to explore Lisbon without delay. They both spoke flawless English.
All and all one of the finest experiences we had with host ar Airbnb.
