Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Situated on Praça do Marquês de Pombal, you'll find various restaurants nearby. Mercado do Bolhão is also within walking distance, while the Marquês Metro station is a short stroll, making getting around this city easy. We love the two sets of French doors – when open, they flood this home with daylight, which is handy as the bedroom borrows light from the living space. The kitchen is compact, but there's everything you need to make home-cooked meals. This place would suit a couple, solo traveller or business professional looking for a comfortable bolthole.
