Among Lisbon's pastel-coloured buildings and cobbled alleyways, this charming studio apartment provides a cosy base from which to explore Portugal's vibrant capital. You'll find this home right next to the LxFactory, – an industrial complex housing an array of arty retailers and quirky restaurants. If you enjoy a little retail therapy, this is a must-visit, showcasing everything from hand-crafted jewellery to paintings and homeware. The weekend is when this area really comes to life. Head out for some delicious food and a few drinks at one of the local bars, then return home to sit on one of the hone's two terraces and listen to live music coming from below with a bottle of wine. Though petite, this apartment is the perfect place to catch a sunset and soak up the lively atmosphere of this cinematic city.

Home truths
This home is located on the third floor of the building with no lift access, so it may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility.
Parking in Lisbon can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible – though we think the best way to see the city is on foot. There are also public parking garages.
This home is in a lively, central spot, so noise is to be expected.
This home's kitchen is on the smaller side, so this home might not be the best option for everyone – though you have got some of the area's best restaurants close by.
As seen in the photos, the shower is very small.
All check-ins will take place in person. You'll be asked to complete a check-in form no later than 48 hours prior to arrival. Standard check-in time is between 3pm and 8pm, subject to availability.
