Tucked along a historic cobbled street in Madragoa, this townhouse feels more like a curated private collection than a place to stay. Decades of vintage finds, artworks, and furniture gathered from across the world fill every room, and the top-floor living space – vaulted ceilings, art-covered walls – opens onto a front terrace where the city turns gold in the late afternoon. A dedicated office makes longer stays practical, and private garage parking removes one of Lisbon's great headaches entirely. The restaurant scenes of Santos and Lapa are right on the doorstep.

Home truths
There's free parking for one car here.
The home is spread across multiple floors and there are some unprotected heights around the staircase – it's generally not considered suitable for young children or pets, though your host is open to discussing this if your situation is a little different.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host does have a cot and high chair available – worth having a conversation before you book given the staircase note above.
Your host may ask you to sign a supplemental contract or agreement at check-in, which is worth factoring in before you arrive.
This is a lived-in home. You should expect some of the host's personal belongings to be present during your stay.

About Santos
