Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This bright Parede apartment has its own private balcony up on the fourth floor and is just minutes from the beach. The decor is very simple but the sofa bed adds practicality and we think it's a good choice for weekend trips. For longer stays you'll need to replace your toiletries, but there are shops nearby, and public transport is easily accessible. If you drive though, you'll find a free parking spot in the building's garage. The location here is what sets this home apart, with several sandy beaches and attractions like the Tower of Belém an easy drive or bus ride away.
