On a traditional street, with the tram running right outside, this apartment's clean lines and modern decor sit within a period building. In the Estrela neighbourhood, one of the most undiscovered parts of central Lisbon, it's just around the corner from the city's puppetry museum (Museu da Marioneta) and a fifteen-minute walk from the beautiful Estrela Garden. Inside, this studio home is smart and comfortable. White walls and wood floors are accented with shades of blue and yellow, and for a small space it's equipped with everything you could need. There's a comfy bed and a sofa, a kitchenette for whipping up light meals, and a dining table for two. There's even a dishwasher so you don't have to worry about the washing up. But step out through the tall French doors and you'll find a lovely balcony overlooking the building's communal pool. A table and chairs mean this is the place you'll no doubt be eating all your meals at home.

Home truths:
*There's a lift in the building
*The garden and pool are shared
*You'll have a shared entrance here
*It's a studio apartment so there's no separate bedroom here
