Tide Watcher is a perfect base to experience the city – located only minutes away from the central sights, it will best suit those who like exploring on foot. The bedroom view of Tejo River is, of course, a bonus.

Home truths: * There is no elevator to this fourth floor home – those with limited mobility or heavy suitcases beware * The bedroom doesn't have a lot of storage space, and you'd struggle to unpack two suitcases there * The WiFi is quite patchy – this might not be the best option for those who want to work during their stay * When we visited, we spotted some scuff marks on the walls * The building is quite old and it shows some damage
