Charming room for rent in 3-bedroom apartment in Penha de França

The Hilltop Getaway

Because it has great views.

Will I like it here?

Depends. New to Lisbon and fancy a hand getting settled? The live-in landlord can offer advice on the neighbourhood and the city. Oh, did we mention he has a cat and a dog? Cute!

Really? Tell me more...

You'll enjoy easygoing communal living in this charming 3-bedroom apartment. Learn to cook a Portuguese speciality in the fully-equipped kitchen. Then enjoy it in the covered balcony, taking in the beautiful views over the city's rooftops.

We think Penha de França is ideal for those looking for a quiet and relaxed neighbourhood with great transport connections to the rest of the city. Perched on top of one of Lisbon's many hills, this area has some great view points.

Your top 3 reasons to live here:

• Bedroom 3 is made for relaxing - it has its own sofa.
• Enjoy the water and light display at the nearby Fonte Luminosa.
• A washing machine means no more trekking to the laundromat.

But you need to know this...

• There's a washing machine but no dryer. A rack should do the trick though :)

And this...

• Animal lovers will be thrilled about sharing their home with the landlord's little dog and cat - and the landlord too, of course.

Your Home-checker, Vasco, said:

“it's about 15 minutes from the city-centre...there's a subway about 5 minutes walking from here...as well as local market, local shops...everything you need, you'll find near here..."

Help me make up my mind...

This is a 3rd-floor, 3-bedroom apartment on R. António Luís Inácio in Lisbon. It has a small but well-equipped kitchen, a covered balcony with great views, a single bathroom and three charming and cosy bedrooms.

It is perfect for those dreaming of a laidback life away from the tourists and noise of the city-centre. This friendly neighbourhood is home to many families as well as young professionals and is a welcoming and authentic place to live.
