Home truths

    There's no elevator, and there are 30 steps to climb to reach the entrance of the apartment – not everyone will appreciate the free workout

    The second bedroom is extremely small, and the bed is only accessible from one side

    The apartment can be a tad noisy due to its location in buzzy Bairro Alto and old windows

    Guests staying eight days or more are recommended to have an extra cleaning service per week (this service is charged at €25 per clean

    Bairro Alto streets are very lively at night and can be noisy at times – bars and some restaurants stay open until 2 am during the weekdays and 3 am at the weekend

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.
