Nestled in Praça Marquês de Pombal, this charming apartment is an ideal base for a family or group of friends. High ceilings and French doors flood light into a space where you’ll find everything you need for a comfortable stay. In contrast, the main bedroom, as an interior room, lacks a little natural light due to the lack of a window. That said, you’ll have a relaxing night’s sleep without any light disturbance. When you’re ready to explore, the Marquês metro station is on your doorstep so you can travel around the city with ease.
