Pretty in Pink Street

Pretty in Pink Street: Lisbon

Housed in a cultural heritage building right on Lisbon’s famous Pink Street – named as one of the New York Times’s favourite European streets – this stylish apartment puts you in a prime spot to experience the city’s famous nightlife, as well as its most historic and cultural sights.

Inside, tall corniced ceilings and wood floors make a stately impression, with an earthy-toned contemporary decor that feels both chicly bohemian and wonderfully Portuguese. We love the large arched windows that let in plenty of sunlight, as well as the views of bustling Pink Street below.

The three bedrooms have been elegantly curated with a pared-back aesthetic, while the bathroom with its diamond-pattern marble floors and inviting tub offers a welcoming wake-up each morning.

With a desk on hand too, you’re all set should you need to catch up on work, but with countless things to see and do nearby, we suggest less work and more play.

Head to the Time Out Market – a three-minute walk – to sample some of Lisbon’s best street food, or explore bustling Praça do Comércio, a ten-minute stroll away. You’re also within easy walking distance of the Santa Justa Lift (twelve minutes), Lisbon Cathedral (fifteen minutes) and the labyrinthine Alfama district (twenty minutes) while plenty of bars, restaurants and shops are right on your front step.


Home truths:
*This home is on the third floor of a building with no lift, so it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility *A cot and a high chair are available on request – just let your host know in advance if you need these *It's located on one of Lisbon's liveliest streets, so expect to hear some street noise and music from the bars downstairs *The third bedroom only has a small window above a door, so lacks the natural light that the other two bedrooms have *Out of respect for the neighbours, please keep noise to a minimum between 10 pm and 8 am *The building's entrance is communal *We recommend skipping the car here and using Lisbon's public transport – Cais do Sodré is a three-minute walk
