Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Oh my days, someone has had a lot of fun decorating this home – it’s a feast for the senses for sure. From the Lisbon murals to the inscriptions and quirky figurines, there’s something to delight around every corner. Another highlight is the terrace – relax on the hammock or enjoy dinner with views over the city’s terracotta rooftops. Okay, we must discuss the practicalities here too. At full capacity, two people will be sleeping on a pulldown double bed in the living area, making the space a bit cramped. We’ve been waxing lyrical about this home but have not mentioned the location yet. Several museums are nearby, while bohemian Bairro Alto is within walking distance, where you’ll find restaurants and bars.

Home truths
There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home.
Guests three and four would be on a sofa bed in the living room – if you're looking for a home with ample space for socialising, we'd recommend this home for two guests only.
If you're travelling for work, there's a small desk in the bedroom.
The shower has body jets,
The photos show how you can use the terrace, but the table needs to be moved if you want to use the hammock or move the sofa bed onto the balcony.
There's double glazing here, but given the home's central spot, you may hear some street noise during your stay.

Local guide
About Saldanha
Saldanha is the uptown business district of Lisbon, filled with designer shops and upscale restaurants that contrast the modern buildings where many locals spend their working days. But it's not like Saldanha closes down after five – there's plenty of residents who appreciate the neighbourhood's sleek look. As a consequence, Saldanha has a great fresh food market, a few cosy cafes, parks and everything else you might need for a great stay. The traffic connections are fast and abundant, meaning most parts of Central Lisbon are only a short train ride away.
