Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This homely apartment is a great base for exploring Lisbon. Located in the heart of Bairro Alto, a car isn’t necessary to reach the city's main attractions – especially as public transport is within easy reach for adventures further afield. Perfect for a romantic retreat, this pad has all you need for a comfortable stay, including a small (albeit tired-looking) outside space where you can sip Vinho Verde in the evening sun. For days when you don’t fancy cooking, there’s a plethora of restaurants and bars on your doorstep, so dining out will definitely be on the menu.

Home truths
Parking in Lisbon can be tricky, so we suggest sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.
The patio could do with a refresh. It's looking a little tired.
Some areas of this home are slightly overlooked by neighbouring buildings. If you prefer absolute privacy, you may wish to look elsewhere. The views here aren't the most inspiring.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
As this home is in a residential building, you may hear your neighbours. With that in mind, noise should be kept to a minimum between 10pm and 8am.
You may not find a welcome hamper or essentials here. The nearest supermarket is a short walk away.

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.
