This charming apartment lies in a central spot in Lisbon's vibrant neighbourhood of Alcântara. Pets are welcome, and with a well-equipped kitchen, a dedicated workspace and a free parking space, this home is ideal for all types of trips. The location means you might hear some outside noise during your stay, so we recommend packing some earplugs.
