The apartment is clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. It's well divided between a living room plus kitchen, a small bedroom and a bathroom. Although it's not big, it doesn't feel crowded or tiny, but rather intimate. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a washing machine in the bathroom (very useful on longer stays).
If you are with a car there is a parking space in the courtyard facing the entrance.
The apartment is in the lovely Graca neighborhood, a minute walk from "Miradouro da Nossa Senhora do Monte" (Our Lady of the Hill), one of the best viewpoints over Lisbon and a great place to just sit, have a cold drink and watch the view. Useful tram and bus stations are 3-5 minutes’ walk. There is also a very nice Café around the corner, Café Aberto.
Simone and her family live next door which is very useful if you need help or a guide. They were extremely welcoming but did not invade our privacy at all – perfect hosts.
Just a heads-up, Graca reside on the top of the hill, above the famous old Alfama neighborhood so after a long day strolling in Lisbon rather than walking the hill, better take a taxi or the famous Tram 28
