Description Fado & Marble: Lisboa

Sitting in the heart of old Lisbon's downtown, this apartment puts the characterful streets of Baixa (and tram 25) right outside the door. Inside, bespoke, handcrafted furniture and Portuguese artworks lend the living space warmth and character, and there's even a desk if you're using this as a remote-working spot. After a day exploring, tuck into the locally sourced wine and gourmet treats from the welcome hamper, or head to your host's rooftop near Avenida da Liberdade for one of the monthly Portuguese wine tastings.

Home truths:
* At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
* You're in the Baixa district, one of Lisbon's busiest central neighbourhoods – this home has soundproofing but there may still be some street noise, particularly in the evenings.
* The communal rooftop space near Avenida da Liberdade – with its wine tastings and co-working area – requires advance booking and isn't available on demand, so plan ahead if you'd like to use it during your stay.
