Sleek and modern, this apartment in Bolhão is a great choice for those in search of a well-connected pad. It's within easy walking distance of Torre dos Clérigos and Avenida dos Aliados, while you'll be able to pick up fresh produce from Mercado do Bolhão right around the corner. The kitchen is fully equipped for preparing meals, while the balcony serves as a charming spot to enjoy evening sundowners. At capacity, one person will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living area but there's plenty of room for three people to spread out and relax. It's also worth noting that you'll need to climb an external staircase to reach the entrance of the home.
