A real gem of a place, in a great location, this home is perfect if you're here to experience the buzz of city life in Lisbon. Part of a traditional period building, it's been beautifully restored to show off its best features – the living room's three sets of French doors out to the narrow, wrought iron balcony, the window shutters and the exposed parts of the wooden pombolina skeleton structure this area is known for. We love the wood floors and white walls, keeping everything cool and minimalist, while the velvet sofas and house plants make it feel like a real home from home. Here you'll be on the edge of Cais do Sodré and the Bairro Alto, so you’re in the heart of Lisbon’s thriving restaurant and bar scenes, with somewhere different to try within walking distance every night of the week. Home truths: *There's no lift, so you'll have to take the stairs to the first floor. *The road outside is quite lively and there's a restaurant on the ground floor, so you might get some noise with the doors open. *While we love the overall design of this home, one bedroom has a window to the building's lobby. It has little natural light. *There is no kettle in this home.
