(Reference number: 138525)
This is a cosy bohemian home in one of the most picturesque neighbourhoods in Lisbon. We loved the large windows that allow the sunlight in throughout the day, and the small balcony off the master bedroom that lets in a cooling sea breeze carrying the sounds and smells of neighbourhood life. In addition, there are a few well-placed details that help to bring out the apartment's unpretentious charm, including the mismatched kitchen tiles, bright crocheted cushions and captivating wall art. Step out into the cobbled streets, and you'll find shops selling traditional crafts alongside quaint cafes where you'll have to sit at an angle to accommodate for the incline. You're only a hundred metres from the hilltop ruins of Castelo de São Jorge, while the iconic 12 and 28 trams stop five minutes away, allowing you to put your feet up at the end of a long day exploring Lisbon's seven hills. Finally, walk ten minutes for spectacular views from Miradouro da Graça that stretch over the city to the River Tagus.
Home truths:
* While there is a sofa bed in the living room, this home is definitely more comfortable for one or two guests
* The bathroom ceiling is low, particularly in the corner by the toilet
* As is common in Alfama, the wi-fi here isn't the fastest – worth bearing in mind for those hoping to get any data-heavy work done
* Convenient self check-in via a keypad
* Child-friendly amenities such as a cot, highchair and dinnerware are available upon request
* Though you likely won't need a car, there is paid offsite parking only
