Grandella Marble

On the vibrant Rua Carmo, this apartment is a great stay for those who value location above all. The charming, cobbled street is close to all the central sights, and you can see the Santa Justa Lift from the comfort of your living room – it and the striking ruins of the Carmo Convent are a two-minute walk away. Inside, the kitchen is designed as a sociable space with a sleek white breakfast bar inviting you to spread out the map and plan the day’s sightseeing over a cup of coffee. At the end of a day exploring winding cobbled streets, or an evening in the fado bars of the Portuguese capital (it’s all on your doorstep), the sofa invites you to kick back and indulge in a glass of red before bed.

Home truths:
* Even with the windows closed you might hear from buzz from the street below
* This home doesn't have a lot of storage space – it's better equipped for a short stay
* There are a few steps leading to the elevator – no step-free access unfortunately
* Although the kitchen is well-equipped with appliances, it doesn't have the basic cooking ingredients
*There is room for two additional guests on the sofa bed in the living room
*The WC and shower room are separate and the washing machine takes up quite a lot of room in the WC
