This Alfama apartment has charm. Access to the home is on a pedestrianised street, so your taxi will have to drop you off nearby – be prepared for a bit of a walk with your luggage. You’ll love waking up to the views over the city, especially since you have access to a private balcony. And while this apartment might show some signs of its 18th-century architecture, it’s a charming spot to call home. We like the rustic yet artistic touches here, particularly the dining room, though we should mention the kitchen is more of a kitchenette. With Lisbon’s diverse array of eateries right on your doorstep, you’ll look forward to dining out at every opportunity. Better still, the city’s cultural sights and waterfront are just steps away.

Home truths

    There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home.

    This apartment is in an 18th-century building – the electricity can be temperamental at times. Your host can provide space heaters, though we also recommend bringing something warm for chillier nights.

    While the kitchenette isn’t photographed, we expect the style to be consistent with the rest of the home.

    Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise.

    At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area.

    The second bedroom's bed is in an alcove – please mind your head.

    If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot.
