Description The Emerald One: Lisboa

Small but mighty, this bold home in the Graça district has some of Lisbon's most iconic landmarks within walking distance. The National Pantheon, Sé Cathedral and São Jorge Castle lie minutes away, and Feira da Ladra, the famous flea market, operates close by. Although the apartment is compact, it has enough room for a small family, and there's a balcony – with fantastic city views, no less – where you can enjoy alfresco breakfasts or late-night drinks. You also have all of Lisbon at your feet, but it's worth mentioning it's a steep walk back up to the home, plus another flight of steps to reach the first floor – luckily, there's a tram stop nearby.

Home truths:
*Parking in Lisbon can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible. That said, we think the best way to see the city is on foot. *There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the first-floor entrance of the home. *Hen and stag parties are strictly not allowed at this home. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. *If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a free cot, high chair, stroller, and baby bathtub on request. *The shower pressure here isn't the strongest. *You'll find a welcome hamper of cheese and wine to get you started here
