Lens Flare Lisbon

Property Description

Situated on a quiet backstreet, Marcelo’s apartment is a comfy, well finished, Lisboeta-style bolthole in the trendy Intendente neighbourhood. Tastefully furnished with everything you need for the perfect city break—or a longer stay, which we guarantee you’ll be considering after tasting the local custard tarts. Traditional tiles, that the region is so famous for, adorn the walls of the bedroom and living spaces and are charmingly reproduced on the cushions. Enjoy an espresso and a pastry at the cosy breakfast nook before taking to Lisbon’s cobbled streets—catch the unmistakable 28 tram from nearby Martim Moniz if you don’t fancy climbing the hills. The lively Largo do Intendente square is a five-minute walk east where cafes and bars serve coffee and beer into the small hours. Your nearest Metro station is closer still and will take you to downtown in just seven minutes. As soon as you arrive, pick a spot on the banks of the River Tagus to watch the sunset dip behind the iconic red suspension bridge.


Home truths:
*The front door opens directly into the bedroom, and as the walls are thin, you can hear people passing on the stairs
*The apartment is on the first floor without a lift
*When we measured the wi-fi, it wasn't especially fast (7Mbps)
*While there’s sleeping space for four guests (two on the sofa bed), it’s a bit of a squeeze for that many people – we recommend staying as a couple
