Description Beyond Abstract: Lisboa

Located on a quiet street in the authentically Portuguese Arroios neighbourhood, this sweet apartment is up in the eaves of a traditional building. Inside, it’s a contemporary space with white walls and minimal furnishings. Hardwood floors are topped with cotton rugs to add some colour and warmth to the home. In the mornings, enjoy the view from the windows with an espresso and famed custard tart, followed by a stroll around your locale. The Campo dos Mártires da Pátria gardens are sun-soaked and serene, interrupted only by the occasional calls of the ducks and chickens that make their home here. Old school cafes and hole-in-the-wall eateries line the streets while Avenida Almirante Reis, just a ten-minute walk away, is one of Lisbon’s main arteries, connecting you to the iconic Tagus river and downtown district.
