The Sunny Rhino

From the Azulejo style tiles in the kitchen to the lemon-yellow flourishes and wooden floors in the living room, this bijou apartment radiates classic Portuguese charm. It straddles the central streets between Baixa and Alfama, where yellow trams trundle past and the smell of pastel de nata floats from nearby bakeries. This is quintessential Lisbon, and all the essential sights are within walking distance. Big windows let the sunshine flood the kitchen and living room with light, creating a sunny spot for breakfast or kicking back after a morning exploring. The master bedroom features an original stone alcove, letting you know that there’s a bit of history retained in these walls.

* The bedrooms aren’t enormous and only have a bedside table and reading light on one side of the bed
