My home is a calm and sunlit top-floor apartment in Almada, just across the river from Lisbon. It’s located on the third (and last) floor of a quiet residential building with no elevator. The neighborhood is peaceful and safe, with supermarkets, bakeries, pharmacies, and public transport nearby. Depending on where you're going and the transport you choose, Lisbon is about 15 to 25 minutes away — close enough to enjoy the city’s energy, but far enough to rest in peace.
The apartment has two bedrooms, each with a double bed (one is queen size), a wardrobe, and a desk for working. One of the rooms can be locked and used to store personal items, depending on the type of swap. The space also includes a shared bathroom with a shower, a bright living room with a comfortable sofa, armchair, coffee table, record player and a small vinyl collection, and an open-plan kitchen and dining area with a table for four.
The kitchen is well equipped with an air fryer, oven, four-burner stove, fridge, freezer, and all essential cookware and utensils. There's also a washing machine available. Natural light fills the home throughout the day — the morning sun comes through the kitchen and living room, and the afternoon light pours into the bedrooms facing the street.
This home is ideal for those who want easy access to Lisbon’s vibrant culture and nightlife, while coming back to a quiet, grounded place to rest. It’s also perfect for beach lovers and nature seekers — the beautiful, wild beaches of Serra da Arrábida National Park are just a short drive away.
This is a quiet, clean and organized home. No parties, no loud music after 10pm, and no pets, as it’s a residential area and I respect my neighbors. I’ll provide a simple house guide with tips on how to use the appliances and care for the space (including how to water the plants, if needed — though they’re low maintenance). I kindly ask that guests treat the house with the same care I’ll offer theirs, including taking out the trash before leaving.
It’s a warm, lived-in space — best for solo travelers or couples looking for light, calm, and thoughtful living, with the best of both nature and city life within easy reach.
