A Thousand Ripples

This fuss-free apartment in Lisbon’s Estrela neighbourhood will suit those looking to explore the city away from the tourist crowds. Sitting on a calm street and boasting a sunny patio garden complete with outdoor seating and a barbecue, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to soak up the sun from your pad. The decor inside isn’t the most inspiring and at capacity, two guests will need to share the sofa bed in the living area. But for a practical base with decent transport links to the city’s main sights, this home hits the mark.


Home truths:
*At capacity, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area. This will be at the expense of lounge space though, so we think this home is best suited to two guests.
*The decor is a little generic. Those looking for a more characterful or luxurious stay may wish to look elsewhere.
*If you're travelling for work, you won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
*This home is located within an apartment building, with a shared entrance. Expect to bump into other guests during your stay.
*We recommend skipping the car here and exploring Lisbon on foot or by public transport instead.
