Description Some Like It Cold: Lisbon

Rather than attempting to go to any extremes, Some Like It Cold makes its mark in its solidity. It’s bright, with a decent kitchen, and a lovely (if not especially unique) Pombaline frame, built into many eighteenth-century buildings to help make them earthquake-proof. It’s in an excellent location, between Praça do Comércio and the Alfama, so getting around is very easy. Unfortunately, other people have worked out that it’s an excellent location, so you can expect to see a fair few tourists in the immediate surroundings.

*Two people can sleep on a sofa bed in the living room
*The shutters are new, so very functional but not as pretty as the originals
*There's no oven or washing machine
