The Elevador de Santa Justa is one of the most iconic landmarks in Lisbon, and this bright, stylish apartment is on the same street (just a one-minute walk away) in the city’s pedestrianised area of Baixa. Take in views of the Santa Justa Lift from the comfortable living room where an elegant blue sofa invites you to relax with a glass of wine after a day of sightseeing and the light-filled dining area waits to host breakfasts over coffee and fresh pastéis de nata. We love the sun-coloured kitchenette and the green tiles in the bathrooms – this home is full of colourful accents that give it a real sense of character and welcome. Factor in the two simple yet elegant bedrooms waiting to drift you into a dreamy night’s sleep and you’ve got everything you need for a blissful stay. Aside from the Santa Justa Lift, you’ve got plenty of other main attractions within easy walking distance, including the Carmo Convent (four minutes), the Praça Dom Pedro IV (two minutes), Praça do Comércio (seven minutes), as well as the Alfama district and its São Jorge Castle (twelve minutes away).

Home truths
This home is on the second floor of a building that has a lift
The master bedroom has two single beds pushed together, rather than an actual double bed
The internet isn't the fastest here – we were only able to get 7Mbps out of the wi-fi
The hallway between the living room and the master bedroom is only 85cm wide
As you're in a wonderfully central location right by the Santa Justa Lift, you may hear some street noise with the windows open
Out of respect for the neighbours, guests are asked to keep noise to a minimum between 10 pm and 9 am
Self-check-in is available here
There's no parking here, but we recommend skipping the car and making use of Lisbon's public transport instead – Rossio station is a three-minute walk away

About Mouraria
With street performers, Fado shows and lots of unmissable sights, Mouraria should be at the top of your list. A trip through its narrow streets is like stepping back in time, revisiting the rich cultural background even before the great earthquake of 1755. In fact, the story goes that Fado was born in Mouraria, and it’s since made its way to the UNESCO World Heritage list. Although it’s quite central, this neighbourhood has a strong local community and an independent art scene that will show you a side of old, nostalgic Lisbon that you won’t find anywhere else.
