Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Step inside this apartment, and you’ll find everything you could need for a laid-back city stay. There's a sofa bed for one guest in the living room, plus your host can help organise breakfast delivery and housekeeping. It’s worth noting you may hear some street noise throughout your stay, but we think the location more than makes up for it. From here, it’s just a short stroll to the famous Rua de Santa Catarina, while the vibrant neighbourhood of Ribeira is just a ten-minute walk away.

Home truths
At full occupancy, one guest will sleep on a sofa bed in the living area – please let your host know in advance if you'd like it prepared for your stay.
Due to the central location and the fact that there's also a nightclub nearby, expect to hear some noise here. Construction is also ongoing in the area, so we suggest packing earplugs if you're a light sleeper.

The bedroom curtains here don't fully block out the sunlight. If you're hoping to enjoy a lie-in, you might want to pack an eye mask.
