The real superpower of this home is the floor to ceiling French doors which flood the living areas with plenty of light. This, coupled with the open-plan layout of the main space, gives the apartment a great feeling of openness (often a rarity in Lisbon). While the dining and living area offer space galore, the kitchen is on the smaller side – something culinary enthusiasts should bear in mind. All this aside, the location is spot on – in the heart of the famous Barrio Alto where you'll find a large proportion of Lisbon's best restaurants, shops, and bars.

Home truths
The kitchen is small for four guests (but there are plenty of great restaurants on your doorstep)
Even though the living space is large, there isn't much room for everyone to sit and watch TV together
Although there is a sofa bed in the living room, the host does not recommend raising the occupancy to six people as there is no method for blocking light from the windows
One of the showers here can be tricky to use

Local guide
About Saldanha
Saldanha is the uptown business district of Lisbon, filled with designer shops and upscale restaurants that contrast the modern buildings where many locals spend their working days. But it's not like Saldanha closes down after five – there's plenty of residents who appreciate the neighbourhood's sleek look. As a consequence, Saldanha has a great fresh food market, a few cosy cafes, parks and everything else you might need for a great stay. The traffic connections are fast and abundant, meaning most parts of Central Lisbon are only a short train ride away.
