Our home is a cozy, quiet corner of São Domingos de Benfica in Lisbon, tucked between city life and green space. We’re a short stroll from the Zoo and close to Monsanto Park, with a protected bike lane right outside and a GIRA bike station at the door. Several bus stops are just around the corner, and Sete Rios (metro and trains) makes getting anywhere in the city, or out of it, really easy.
It’s a lower-ground (cave) apartment, but we get good light and airflow from two street-facing windows. The garden is where we spend most of our time: it’s private and leafy, with a hammock and mandarin and plum trees. Inside, the living can be set up to sleep more guests if needed. I work from home often, so there’s a nice office/ home studio equipped with sound panels, a monitor and reliable fast Wi‑Fi. The kitchen is fully set for real cooking, and we’ve got a dishwasher and washing machine to keep things simple during longer stays.
The neighborhood is calm and friendly, with cafes, supermarkets, and everyday shops nearby. It’s an easy place to settle into, peaceful when you want it, connected when you need it.
