Housed in an old traditional building, this studio apartment is a great pick for those looking to be in a central location. You're just a short stroll from Clérigos Church, Igreja do Carmo and the greenery of Jardim da Cordoaria, while the romantic Cais da Ribeira waterfront is also easily within reach here. Inside, the living space is limited due to the studio style, however, the home is bright and colourful throughout, and the Juliet balcony overlooking the surrounding area is a nice touch. It's well-suited for short city break stays and the laptop-friendly dining table makes it a good option for remote workers. Please note that the home is within the nightlife district so it tends to get quite noisy at night. Light sleepers might want to pack earplugs.
