SameSame Coliving

A coliving is a new way of living and belonging — it's a place where you can sleep, rest, work and live a lifestyle set on convenience, community, and comfort, where collaboration, open-mindedness and tolerance are key. At samesame, colivers live together in two buildings that are adjacent, share common areas, common values and similar journeys. However, we can host you in shared or private rooms/apartments.

At samesame, we try not to over-design community. There are no mandatory activities or rigid schedules; the house simply creates the conditions for people to connect naturally. Someone starts cooking dinner and a few others join, a padel match or surf trip gets organised in the house chat, and there are yoga sessions, movie nights, day trips and slow Sundays. Nothing is forced, but something is almost always happening.

One small tradition is the Tuesday dinner and Sunday brunch, where people share ideas and plan the week ahead — everyone is free to join or skip.

Since 2018, samesame has hosted people from all over the world who come to Lisbon to live and work remotely, mostly for a few weeks to a few months. The community includes people in tech, design, marketing, creative industries, startups and other independent or remote careers, many in their late 20s to mid-30s. Quite a few people come back.

We have two buildings, side by side, sharing the same block.

Madalena Building

• 2nd floor: 5 Bedroom Apartment (entire private apartment for rental)
• 3rd floor: 4 Bedroom Apartment (entire private apartment for rental)
• 4th floor: Studio with Balcony + High-end 1 Bedroom Apartment + 2 Bedroom Apartment (entire private apartments for rental)
• 5th floor: Studio (entire private apartment for rental)

Beco Building

• Ground floor: 1-Bedroom Apartment
• Second floor: Double Bed in a Premium Private Room (2 units) + Twin Room (3 units) + Staff Triple Shared Room (1 unit)

Shared areas are all the areas outside your bedroom and bathroom — from the kitchen to the living room and any other corners you can find around the coliving. Except if you book a private apartment, then you don't have to share the kitchen and living room.

All bills are included in a single fee — covering rent, electricity, water, and Wi-Fi. This fee also includes regular cleaning of common areas, restocking of kitchen essentials, and replenishment of shared spaces. Common areas are cleaned at least once a week, and each room or apartment receives a full cleaning once per week — including linen and towel change. Additional cleaning is available for an extra fee of €40 per day. There is also a laundromat available for guests (1 washing machine and 1 dryer), available 24/7 at an additional cost per cycle.

Rooms and common areas are cleaned weekly. If you'd like an extra cleaning with fresh linens, it's available for €40. Cleaning supplies are also available in all shared areas for your personal use.

All rooms have a work desk: Premium Private Room and Twin Private Room. All private apartments have either a work desk or a dining table.

Although we don't have a dedicated coworking space, part of our living room is set up for work. There's a large table with seating for six, equipped with monitors and keyboards, as well as a printer, a phone booth, and more. In addition, we have a partnership with a nearby coworking space that offers exclusive discounts for our guests.

You can invite friends if your housemates agree — we encourage our residents to host their own community events in any shared space. If your friend wants to sleep with you in the same room, it is always possible since your chosen room has a double bed, and we charge a €15 fee per night.

All private apartments and studios include a table for both work and meals.
