Perfect for solo travellers and romantic getaways, this apartment has plenty of room for two. It's super stylish and little details like a desk and record player make all the difference. Sure, the galley kitchen is compact, but it has everything you need to rustle up dinner. There's even a balcony – although there's nowhere to sit, it's still a nice spot to savour a coffee and watch the neighbourhood wake up. Estrela is a great base, especially if you like to stroll along scenic streets and relax in quaint eateries. Make sure to swing by the Basilica da Estrela before hopping on a bus to the centre for further sightseeing.

Home truths

    Although there is a balcony here, there’s nowhere to sit.

    The kitchen is small, so we think it's best for light meals.

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

    The bedroom curtains may not fully block out the sunlight. If you want to enjoy a lie-in, you may want to pack an eye mask.

    Parking isn't provided, but a car isn't needed in Lisbon. You'll find a metro station and plenty of bus routes nearby.

    This home is located in a building with a shared entrance. Expect to bump into neighbours during your stay.

    This host requires your check-in to be within 3-5 days from when the last booking ends. If you are unsure if your dates will work or for help finding alternatives, please contact our Matchmaking Team.

Local guide


About Estrela

The urban settlement in Estrela was founded in the 18th Century when Lisbon expanded and nobility started building in the area. With the majestic architectural standard established, Estrela has maintained a high number of well-preserved palaces and mansions. This neighbourhood is a great place to stay if you want to escape the mass tourism of Central Lisbon. It's more of a rest and recharge zone, far away from the city...
