A wonderful place to stay to explore Lisbon.
My family of 5 adults stayed at this lovely apartment for 2 weeks. It is very well located close to the castle and other attractions. from here we were able to visit all the sights and many restaurants in Lisbon. It has a lovely quiet and secluded garden filled with figs, that we had for our breakfast. We were able to spend many evenings sipping wine and the local cherry Brandy at the local view point, a place where others climbed up hill to go, for us a 2 minutes level walk!
The views from the main bedroom and lounge were stunning and gave us spectacular sunsets to watch. The tram ( no28), is also a level walk away. This was very useful when after a long days sightseeing we returned home. There are plenty of local cafes and a couple of supermarkets with fresh produce and cakes and pastries to enjoy.
Catarina and her family were very helpful during our stay when we needed them. We would recommend Lisbon and its rich culture, as a great place for weekend or like us an extended holiday with time to fully explore all it has to offer. If we ever go back, I would not hesitate to return to this lovely flat.

Hi Diane, it is great that you like your staying and bothered to leave a review, thanks so much. It was just a pity that, like you said, you mistakenly gave us 3 stars
Catarina was wonderful, responsive and as helpful as she could be. The location was great and there was lots of space and a fabulous view. She gave us helpful tips and recommendations. We were able to walk to anywhere we wanted to go and fabulous restaurants close by. However, I was a little disappointed by the space and surprised by the reviews. It is old and kitchen and bathroom were pretty run down. There is a slightly strange arrangement with walking through bedrooms to get to the common spaces. But the bathroom is really lacking, it's large but the shower curtain and mat were moldy and needed fixture upgrades to be functional. The kitchen was good for breakfast, but we wouldn't have tried cooking. We had to relight the pilot before every shower. Spotty wifi. If you have the right expectations and no more than 4 people it would work well.

Response from VrboOwner on 5 Sept, 2021
While it is true that the net failed and there were problems, Tracy forgets to mention that the outside door's lock was broken and we waived any damage payment because of these.
All bedrooms have an independent exit without passing by any bedroom. However, the 2nd living room, which is clearly tagged as such on the website, is a place of passage and if used as an extra bedroom.... That’s the price of a family of 5 each wanting their own bedroom.
And while Tracy and her family were perfectly ok guests she never said a single thank you. Not when we sent her a compiled doc with info on the neighbourhood in order to improve their experience, neither every time we wished her a good day or a good journey nor when we sent her two nationwide reaching hotspots to use. Maybe it's a cultural problem, after all, I live in England, but it wouldn't hurt to think about that
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans la maison de Catarina ! Elle est parfaitement situé dans le centre ville de Lisbonne et offre une superbe vue sur la ville. Le petit espace extérieur au calme est un vrai plus !
Tout s'est très bien passé. Catarina a été très arrangeante sur les horaires d'arrivée et de départ.
Nous recommandons sans hésiter !
Great place to stay for a long break. Neighbourhood wonderful. Local shops and cafe bars outstanding. Garden great in the sun. At night watching the sunset over western Lisbon magnificent.
Ren och praktisk lägenhet för större sällskap i lugnt område med närhet till både supermarket, cafeer, restauranger och kommunikationer. In- och utcheckning fungerade mycket smidigt.
We stayed for 4 nights and had a great time here.
The apartment is really spacious and has the best view ever! The location is great, we walked to most places we wanted to visit, even with a 6 and 7 year old and a stroller to push.
We spent our evenings with a glass of wine by the open window enjoying the sunset and the many lights in the city.
We enjoyed our stay in this lovely apartment. The view was amazing. We were close to restaurants, bakeries, cafes and grocery stores. The taxi stop is a 5 minute walk from the house. Loved it!
Logement spacieux et propre dans le centre ville et proche des transports et commerce. Nous avons passé un bon séjour a lisbonne. Merci catarina pour les informations complètes.
Wir haben mit 6 Personen ein verlängertes Wochenende in dieser Wohnung verbracht. Alles war wie beschrieben, die Kommunikation mit Catarina klappte sehr gut.
Wenn man die vielen Treppen nicht scheut, kann man gut die Metro (1x umsteigen) vom Flughafen aus nehmen.
Da wir als Gruppe mit einem Bad und einem Durchgangsschlafzimmer kein Problem hatten, würden wir diese Wohnung wieder mieten.

Dear Sabine thank you for the lovely review that I just translated below to help other guests:
Perfect Fit
We were 6 people staying a long weekend in this apartment. Everything was as described, the communication with Catarina worked very well. If you are not afraid of the many stairs, you can easily take the metro (1x change) from the airport. Since we had no problem with one bathroom and a walk-through bedroom, we would rent this apartment again.

Elegant historic scenic spacious and comfortable!
We were absolutely thrilled with this apartment and it exceeded all of our expectations. We felt like we were staying in someone’s elegant beautiful Graca home, and in-fact we were. The view out the window of the Castelo de S. Jorge and the old neighborhoods of Graca and Alfama was like being transported back in time. Up the road to the right, we could see the Jardim da Graça, were we spent several sunsets and very late evenings drinking wine. We took our breakfasts in the garden, and spent our days exploring the local neighborhood of Graca. For us, it was a lucky call, but Graca is without question the best place to stay in Lisbon.
Catarina and her support team we super helpful. It was just three of us, husband, wife, four-year-old, and the house was very spacious and could easily hold more. Parking on the street was easy.
We strongly recommend this property to anyone looking for a place to stay in Lisbon.

fantastische liggen in het oude deel van Lissabon
Heerlijk genoten van dit mooie appartement. Schitterend uitzicht op de stad vanuit het appartement en van het pleint op de hoek van de straat. Met tram 28 ben je zo beneden in het centrum, maar je kunt ook heerlijk dwalen door de kleine straatjes in de omgeving. Handige tip neem de taxi terug voor een paar euro sta je weer voor de deur en hoef je niet naar boven te lopen.

Fantastic location wirh a stunning view
This flat is brilliantly situated on top of the Graca hill, wirh a great window to appreciate the view, and only a few steps away from a beautiful Miradouro, from where you can overlook Lisbon while having breakfast. We stayed there with two people only, I would recommend the flat for a couple or a couple with kids as most beds tend to be on the small side and you would avoid fighting for the wonderful master bedroom!There are great restaurants around so you don't really need to cook, however, we really enjoyed the little garden for a pre-breakfast morning coffee. Catarina is a very attentive host, even from Britain she was always prepared to assist and help with things like a rusty key lock, also, from the office next door we got some hands- on help, really nice people who even ordered an early morning cab for us at the end of our stay. Lots of great ( English, Portuguese) books on the shelves, too!

Super Lage und entsprechende Aussicht
Der Preis ist zu hoch, da einiges aufzuarbeiten wäre. Die Kochnische lässt sehr zu wünschen übrig, die meisten Betten (wir waren 7 Personen), resp. Matratzen sollten dringenden ersetzt werden und im mittleren Raum zur Hofseite ist eine ganze Wand von Schimmel befallen. Da Catarina aus einer Doktorenfamilie stammt, wundert mich das mangelnde Bewusstsein bezüglich Gesundheit sehr. Das wäre sogar ein Grund für eine Rückforderung!! Ansonsten ist die Whg sehr attraktiv und hat ein schönes Cachet. Die Sicht auf die Stadt ist wunderbar!! und die Ausgangslage für alle möglichen Aktivitäten ist ebenfalls sehr gut. Wenn sie ein Foto der befallenen Wand möchten; das können wir liefern. Freundlich, Ruedi Bieri

Rudolf that ceiling was painted in january, the stains are rain infiltration - if you looked at the remained walls it is clear that everything is newly painted. More important It's NOT a health hazard.
But I asked for pics of the wall and in fact the problem got much worse in the last month so the wall is now being sorted.
But you had my mobile, and 2 doors away is the office, if you were unhappy why not talk with us ? Never assume that people want to cheat you, instead give feedback directly so we can improve things for the next guests.
On the price, you paid £20 per person/night and claim that was expensive...?

Spacious, charming flat in beautiful area of Lisbon
Catarina´s apartment is spacious, charming, with tasteful traditional furniture and a nice little garden. It is located in one of the most beautiful parts of Lisbon. The communication was easy, and the information given to us a few days before our stay contained all relevant details. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Highly recommendable.

Excellent location, excellent owner, ecxellent communication
I could write kilometers of praising for this vacation rental and its owner - but instead I will only say this: our group of three adults (with pretty long history of travelling together all over the world) has decided to come again next summer - and we made our booking for 2017 about two days after we had returned (better safe than sorry policy) from this great place. Thank you Brian - you saved our vacations at the point where it seemed totally ruined by a terrible rental we had to run away from right after we got there. It was well, well worth it to drive hundreds of kilometers alongside the Spanish coast to escape from hell and get to your lovely paradise! See you in August 2017!

Why they chose this property
Besides the qualities of the property, we have been listed here since 1998 without any complaints and several positive reviews even if we really need to remember to ask for more. Furthermore, until 2014, all payments were done directly to the owners and we never had any problem.
