Description Palms & Zebras: Lisboa

This home is well placed for Lisbon's fantastic markets – Mercado São Bento is under a ten-minute walk, while the Time Out Market Lisbon is a twenty-minute stroll. Principe Real, with its many designer stores, antique shops and art galleries, is under a twenty-minute amble. Or Bairro Alto is a sixteen-minute saunter where you'll find an array of fabulous restaurants and bars.

Back at this apartment, take in the street views from the balcony, then whip up a feijoada (bean stew) in the modern kitchen with fresh ingredients from the market. Totally refurbished, this home has been decorated in tasteful grey hues with splashes of pattern from the zebra-style rug, and verdant green plants give the place a homely vibe. This abode is perfect for a couple, solo traveller or business professional.
