A two-minute jaunt from the family-favourite Estrela Garden, this seventh-floor apartment offers an ideal base for packed itineraries and business trips. Remote workers are promised practicality with the bedroom desk, and while the views aren't breathtaking, the choice of two balconies await your galão breaks. It's not the most charming home – the pipework is old and you're likely to hear your neighbours – but it's a fuss-free option. Fancy heading downtown? It's a bit of a trek on foot, but excellent public transport links sit on your doorstep. There's also the option for on-street parking if you'd rather drive.

Home truths:
*Given the home's central spot in a residential apartment building, expect to hear noise from both the street and neighbours throughout your stay. *Home comforts are lacking here. We think it's best suited to those looking for a base to use when travelling for work. There's also a dedicated desk space here. *This home overlooks other apartment blocks, so the views aren't the most inspiring. *The pipework in this building is old, so expect an occasional odour from the shower drain. *You won't find a welcome hamper or basic cleaning essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started. The nearest supermarket is a short walk away.
