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
