The Back Street Nest

Two-room apartment on the ground floor at the end of a dead-end street system in a historical quiet neighborhood in Graca, Lisbon. It has a small bedroom, a living-room, kitchen, decent size bathroom and a nice balcony in the back.

Originally build as accommodation for the employees of a chocolate factory, the Estrela D'ouro private community with its azulejo wall decorations and Galician star mosaics is a unique resting place. The lack of through traffic and the quiet village atmosphere provides a fantastic oasis of peace only fifteen minutes walk from the city center.
The wider neighborhood of Graca is stretched out over the top of one of the city’s seven hills only a short downhill walk away from the city center and one hilltop away from the Lisbon Castle. You will find the most breathtaking of Lisbon's many viewpoints “Miradouro da Nossa Senhora do Monte” just a five minute walk up the hill from the apartment and the famous tram # 28 stops just around the corner. Other attractions in the immediate area include the National Pantheon, the Monastery of "São Vicente de Fora" and the famous "Feira da Ladra" flea market held on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

Lisbon is everything you have ever heard about it plus all the feelings it evokes when you throw yourself into its open arms. Soft, colorful, chaotic, melancholic, and timidly expressive. Just open the door and it is all around you.
