Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
We love this apartment's location – it's in the heart of Lisbon's Baixa neighbourhood, so you'll have many of the city's main attractions within walking distance. The nearby Praça do Comércio has a range of cafes, bars, and restaurants, while the fashionable district of Chiado, with its chic boutiques, is within easy walking distance. Although there's so much to do out and about, you'll want to spend time relaxing, too. The kitchen makes meal prep easy, and there's plenty of space to spread out. After a busy day, you'll be glad to snuggle up in the comfortable beds for a good night's sleep.
