On the grid that rebuilt a capital.
Baixa is where the Marquês de Pombal redrew Lisbon after the 1755 earthquake, the first European city laid out on a strict modern grid. Áurea takes its name from Rua Áurea itself, one of the three signature Pombaline grid streets alongside Rua Augusta and Rua da Prata. The triumphal arch on Praça do Comércio is a five-minute stroll, and you hear the 28 tram before you see it.
Daily life is tactile and walkable. Coffee at Manteigaria for the city's best pastel de nata, lunch at Casa do Alentejo, an aperitivo at Ribeira das Naus on the river. The Cais do Sodré ferry to Cacilhas runs every twenty minutes, and Metro Baixa-Chiado connects you to the rest of the city in minutes.

Does every Residentas apartment have air conditioning?
Yes — every Residentas apartment has air conditioning (heating and cooling) in all bedrooms and living areas. You'll find the remote in the living room or bedroom; reach out if anything isn't working as expected.
Is the Wi-Fi fast enough to work from the apartment?
Yes — fast complimentary Wi-Fi is included in every apartment, suitable for video calls and remote work. The network name and password are on the welcome card you'll receive at check-in and in your booking confirmation.
Does this building have an elevator?
Most Residentas buildings have an elevator — check the specific property page or message us before booking if step-free access is important. Buildings without elevators are clearly indicated on the property listing.
Where can I park, and is a car worth it in Lisbon?
The apartments are in central Lisbon where street parking is limited and paid. We recommend nearby public parking garages — specific recommendations are shared in your check-in instructions. Most guests find Lisbon's metro, tram and walkability mean a car isn't worth the cost or hassle.
How far is the apartment from Lisbon airport (LIS)?
Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport is approximately 7-8 km from central Lisbon — about a 15-25 minute taxi/Uber ride (€12-18) depending on traffic. The Metro red line also connects the airport to the city centre in around 20 minutes.
Are the apartments kid-friendly and safe for families?
Yes, families are very welcome. We can provide a crib/cot and high chair on request, subject to availability — please ask when booking. Apartments include kitchens for easy meal prep, and most are within walking distance of parks and family-friendly cafés.
Can I request extra towels or linens during my stay?
Yes — message us during your stay and we'll arrange a top-up delivery. For stays of 7+ nights, we include a mid-stay refresh of towels and linens automatically.
What are the rules on smoking inside the apartment?
Smoking is not permitted inside any Residentas apartment, including on indoor balconies and terraces where signs are posted. Some properties have outdoor terraces where smoking is allowed — check the property page for specifics. A cleaning fee applies if smoking occurs indoors.
