Intendente is a cosmopolitan neighbourhood home to Ramiro, which is rumoured to be the best marisqueira in town should you be on the lookout for freshly caught seafood. But there are other perks to this neighbourhood too – you’ll find mom and pop food shops, great markets and good accessibility to Chiado and Alfama, which can be easily reached on foot in twenty minutes or quicker by public transit. The apartment itself is pleasant and comfortable, with a plush sofa, a balcony that overlooks the charming street and a quiet bedroom. The red tile in the kitchen and bathrooms brighten up the home and match its quirky personality, as do the patchwork throws and fabric wall hangings. For a small group desiring a quiet stay and fabulous seafood, this home is a great base for getting to know the local’s side of Lisbon without sacrificing proximity to the major tourist attractions.

Local guide
About Intendente
The Mayor of Lisbon moved his office into Intendente in 2012, giving it the infusion of funds needed to rebuild and elevate this often forgotten part of town. Only a decade ago, Intendente was in bad shape, but the revitalising initiatives have created an unexpected consequence – an incredible culinary scene, where everything goes. There are still some rough edges, but most of the previously abandoned buildings now home indie record stores, craft fairs, and art galleries. We suggest you start your trip in Largo Café, the artsy meeting point for locals and visitors.
