For everybody wishing or planning to travel to Lisboa, I can only most highly recommend Graca António House. The warm hospitality of Rui and Isabel made our stay an absolute pleasure.

We (young couple) stayed at Graca António House for one week. Already during the preparation of our trip, Rui and Isabel were most helpful - they answered all our questions very quickly and provided us with all necessary information. On our arrival, Rui welcomed us in an way that we felt at home right from that moment. He took some time to show us around and explained us where to go in Lisboa, special sites and places which we would maybe not have found ourselves. Rui and Isabel even gave us a bottle of wine as a present which we enjoyed that very first evening on the balcony with the view down on the Tejo. :-)

The apartment itself is exactely as on the photos, very bright, with a stylish and modern interior and still very cozy and comfortable. And of course very clean. Due to some rain we stayed some evenings at home and we were very happy that Graca António House was quite roomy, perfect for the two of us. And the house is quipped with everything possible, even dishwasher and washing machine are available.

The neighbourhood is nearly exclusively local and thus, mostly quiet. Directly next to the house is a small shop which is open quite late. We enjoyed being away from the touristic center at night. On our walks through the city and down to Alfama (ca. 10 minutes) and Bairro Alto (ca. 20-30 minutes), we discovered some nice viewpoints, streets and restaurants that were not on our list of must-sees, but which were definitely worth discovering. Besides, if your feet are aching after a day of exploring, a taxi costs only about 5-6€ from the city center. And we only paid 10 € to the airport.

In general, Graca Antonio House is a perfect base for experiencing Lisboa and seeing a bit more than most other tourists.
