This spacious one-bedroom in the heart of Lisbon is sparsely decorated, relying on stunning mural canvases in almost every room – you’ll feel more like you’re staying in a gallery than a vacation rental. The award-winning design, the brainchild of architect José Adrião, retains elements of the original 19th-century space and incorporates some key modern touches (a high-definition TV in the living room). A small balcony next to the bedroom overlooks the busy street below.
facility: Washer/Dryer, HDTV, Books, Coffee Maker, Elevator, Pets Allowed, Long Term Stays Allowed
Place: Lisbon, Portugal
