What this central Bolhão apartment lacks in character more than makes up for with location. All the hotspots are within easy walking distance, including the iconic Bolhão Market – just a five-minute stroll away. Need to be somewhere fast? Trindade and Bolhão Metro Stations are within 300 metres of your door, and covered parking is available next door if you plan to drive. The small balcony is a nice touch for morning coffee, and guests sharing will appreciate the two smart en-suite bathrooms for each bedroom.

Home truths
While the second bedroom with two single beds isn’t photographed, we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
This home sleeps six guests, with the last two guests sharing a double sofa bed in the lounge space – if you’d like ample space for socialising, we’d recommend this home for four guests.
This home has a shared entrance and lift access. Expect to bump into other guests during your stay.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
Cots are provided for little ones on request.
The balcony areas might appear a little tired, and it overlooks a nearby carpark, so the views aren't the most inspiring.
