Bolo de Cenoura: Lisbon

Bright and cheerful, this home will make you feel welcome from the moment you open your suitcase. The sunny living area is decked out in pastel hues, with the occasional pop of orange to add character. There's plenty of space to cook, eat and relax in style as you plan your sightseeing itinerary. The host has added some really thoughtful touches for you to enjoy, from the Marshall speaker to the luxurious toiletries and basic cooking ingredients. Overlooking the vibrant neighbourhood of Baixa, you'll be spoilt for choice when choosing which landmark to see first. The Santa Justa Lift and Praça do Comércio are both mere minutes away, and there are plenty of boutiques, restaurants and coffee shops nearby. Make sure you don't leave without tasting a pastel de nata – one of the best bakeries in town is just a minute away from your front door.
