Juniper & Cream

Located just a two-minute walk away from Avenida da Liberdade, this home is a great stay for those interested in a little shopping during their trip to Lisbon. It's a lovely spot to hang out between adventures, with parquet floors and decorations made by local Portuguese artists. This home gets great natural light at all times of the day, thanks to the wall-wide windows in both the living area and the bedroom. However, we think you'll want to head up to the fabulous shared roof terrace, where you can chill out on the up-cycled furniture and sip a cool drink while admiring the views over the Marquês de Pombal neighbourhood. This district is known for its eclectic collection of eateries and luxury boutiques, but is also well-connected to the older parts of the city. Simply stroll to Bairro Alto and Chiado in around half an hour, or hop on the metro – it's just at the end of the street.
