At Writer’s House you’ll discover Lisbon from an ideal spot with a Portuguese writer as your host. If in doubt, feel free to ask before booking. For over 10 years, I’ve been hosting tourists from around the world, with 93% of guests rating their stay 5 stars. The space Accessible through a semi-private corridor, the apartment consists of three floors. On the ground floor, there is a living room with a sofa bed (accommodating two people), a kitchen (equipped with a stove, oven, refrigerator, washing machine, dishwasher, and all necessary cooking utensils), and a bathroom (WC) with a bathtub. On the first floor, there is a bedroom with a single bed and a wardrobe. On the second floor, there is a spacious bedroom with four beds, a wardrobe, and a view of the Church of Santa Catarina. The second floor is equipped with air conditioning (Panasonic with inverter system). The apartment is located in the Lisbon neighborhood of Santa Catarina, a few hundred meters from Bairro Alto and about a 10-minute walk from Baixa Pombalina. Within 50 meters are several stops of the famous tram 28, allowing visits to São Jorge Castle, Alfama, and Graça. Rossio and Cais do Sodré train stations are less than 1 km away. Less than 200 meters away are various bus stations to Belém and other parts of the city. Within 200 meters is the viewpoint of Santa Catarina, one of the best vantage points in Lisbon overlooking the Tagus River estuary. In the vicinity, in addition to numerous restaurants and shopping areas, there are grocery stores that close only at midnight. Access to the apartment, located in a 19th-century residential building, is through a semi-private interior corridor, allowing for greater privacy. Guest access Guests have access to the entire apartment during their stay, with the freedom to use the provided appliances responsibly. The specified check-in and check-out times are flexible. Therefore, it may be possible, if requested in advance, to check in with entry before 12:00 hours and check out at later times (even in the early morning). However, in these cases, luggage storage is guaranteed only in a secure place (host's office in the same building) at no additional cost. Other things to note Until December 2023, the Writer's House has already hosted over 500 guest groups, totaling more than 1,800 individuals from 68 different nationalities.
