This cosy apartment awaits you in Lisbon's Alfama district, with its steep narrow streets and tight-knit buildings. We think it's great for a solo traveller or couple, but its size does mean it's unsuitable for children. The kitchen, while lacking an oven, is equipped for preparing small meals or a morning coffee. You won't get more central than this, with shops, restaurants, and public transportation an easy walk away. Alfama is known for its street parties during the summer months, so you can expect outside noise. That said, if you're hoping for an authentic and comfortable weekend break in the city, look no further.

Home truths:
*Children and infants aren't permitted at this home.
*This apartment is in a central location known for its street parties. In the summer and on weekends, you can expect to hear some noise.
*Space is limited here. It may be a squeeze for two people, especially taller guests as the ceilings are low. There also isn't much storage space, so we recommend packing light.
*There isn't a washing machine or an oven here. The apartment also lacks air conditioning, so expect it to get warm.
*There are many steps to reach the home's entrance.
*Toiletries aren't provided – for stocking up, the nearest supermarket is a short walk away.
*While we love the overall design of this home, it is lacking in natural light.
