Method

Rows are hand-compiled for relocation planning. Prefer Idealista asking reports and listing panels when they publish bedroom splits. Where those are thin, use Numbeo city-centre 1-bed and 3-bed panels (often via EUR summaries such as US GO EU / Spacest October 2026 reads of Numbeo).

When a source only publishes 1-bed and 3-bed centre rents, studio is estimated at 85% of the 1-bed figure and 2-bed is the midpoint of 1-bed and 3-bed. Idealista Lisbon and Porto studio / 1-bed cells are direct asking averages; their 2-bed cells still use the midpoint method. Hover a source link for the row note.
