This stunning apartment is located right in the heart of historic Lisbon. From your privileged fifth-floor position, you'll enjoy a bird's-eye view high above the bustling streets from the comfort of your Baixa bolthole. Throw open the living room and master bed doors and enjoy the early morning atmosphere from the Juliet balcony as the city comes to life around you. The clean lines of the modern kitchen provide plenty of space for culinary creativity. In contrast, the living-dining area is enhanced by warm tones, natural materials and geometric wall hangings. The bedrooms are simply decorated with calming green and teal tones. Unusually for a two-bedroom apartment, you're blessed with two full bathrooms that take inspiration from the black and white mosaic tiles you'll see lining Lisbon's streets. Step out, and you're less than a two-minute walk from the Gustave Eiffel-designed Elevador de Santa Justa, 500m from the astonishing Praça do Comércio, and under ten minutes' walk from the regal Avenida da Liberdade.

About Baixa
Lisbon’s most central area, Baixa is brimming with distinctively Portuguese charm and history. With the city’s traditional ‘calçada portuguesa’ – the intricately patterned cobblestone that makes up most pedestrian pavements – underfoot, walk through colourful streets flanked by grand Neoclassical buildings. In contrast to the narrow lanes of Chiado and Alfama, the avenues here are wide and somewhat uniform, forming a grid-like network filled with restaurants, bars and shops. Praça...
