A beautiful, clean and well situated apartment located in the hip Gracia neighbourhood. The apartment itself is located in a private courtyard, so it's very quiet at night (you don't hear any street traffic), and very secure (there is a front gate which is locked at night). The apartment seems to be newly remodelled, the bed is super comfy, the kitchen has tonnes of appliances, the WiFi is fast and the bathroom is bright and airy. Other amenities that we made use of: TV with cable, a washing machine, an ironing board, clothes hangars, clothespins, coffee machine. We loved how close the apartment was to local bakeries, cafes and restaurants, and highly highly highly recommend eating dinner/going for drinks at Botequim, and passing by Flaming Bar for their port tonics. In addition, there are two gorgeous lookouts (miradouros) within steps of the apartment, giving you the best view of the city. It's also a 10 minute walk to Castello San Jorge, a must-visit. If you want to explore the downtown/touristy part of Lisbon, the apartment is a 15-20 minute walk downhill to that area, and very close to Martim Moniz subway/metro line. But it was nice escaping the tourist area every night and returning home to this apartment and Rua Graca. The Gracia neighbourhood is incredibly hip and local and seems to be where really Lisbon dwellers like to hang out. A huge thank you to Ana Christina for her wonderful accommodation, and for her friend Simone for a smooth check-in and check-out; Simone was very hospitable, met us at the apartment on our arrival to show us in, and lives just 2 houses down. In addition both Ana Christina and Simone are fluent in both English and French, and happy to communicate in either language. We will definitely come back and stay here again!
