Description Eve: Lisboa

Eve’s jungle-like patio is a serious sun trap – its hammock is the perfect spot for a siesta. The conjoined dining area and well-equipped kitchen are flooded with natural light from the patio doors. Everything in this high-ceilinged home is carefully curated, from the vintage art prints to the chairs snagged from an old boat. Nestled on one of the main streets in the Alcântara neighbourhood, Maria Pia, it’s within walking distance to the riverfront and surrounded by tree-lined squares.

Home truths:
* It’s a ground floor apartment with the bedroom at the front, so the bedroom can be a bit noisy with the windows open
* There are no external windows in the bathroom, so it doesn’t get much natural light
* Two of the guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room
* There’s only one bathroom shared between all four guests
