Tucked into Lisbon's steep and characterful Bica neighbourhood, this third-floor walk-up apartment sits just a one-minute walk from the Elevador da Bica. When you're ready to explore further, the city's grand riverside square at Praça do Comércio is a fifteen-minute stroll. Back inside, the living and dining area is built for unhurried meals together, and the second bedroom doubles as a comfortable workspace for anyone extending the trip with a few remote working days. It’s an easy base for couples, families or a few friends looking to explore.

Home truths
At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area. It's available upon request.
There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home on the third floor. It won't suit those with limited mobility.
Parking is tricky in this area. Bica's streets aren't accessible by car for most visitors, so we recommend exploring Lisbon on foot or using the excellent public transport links — Cais do Sodré station is just minutes away, giving you easy access to Cascais and Belém by train.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot, high chair, tableware, and a baby bath upon request.
