All the city’s hotspots are within easy walking distance from this smart downtown Lisbon apartment. Take your pick from the iconic Santa Justa Elevator, just along the street, or follow the buzz down to Rua Augusta, just a one-minute walk away. While the fuss-free interiors are spot on, if we were being picky, the kitchen is on the compact side. Although there’s everything you need to rustle up breakfast (including that all-important coffee pod machine), and Baixa’s bustling street cafés are right outside your door if you'd rather skip cooking.

Home truths:
*Your host operates several apartments here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos.

Expect to bump into other guests during your stay. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. *The kitchen is compact and may be better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals. *Bathroom essentials are provided to help settle you in. *Parking in Lisbon can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible.
