The Bowie Lisbon

Property Description

Although it's nestled in the heart of beautiful Bairro Alto, the surrounding narrow streets have a quiet and distinctly village-like feel where locals know each other and the streets are filled with coffee shops, concept stores, restaurants and art galleries. By night, it's a whole other story – the neighbourhood fills with people and the streets become outdoor extensions of the many bars in the area. Your home will be a lovely peaceful spot that’s still near all the action – trendy Chiado is just an eight-minute walk away. Our favourite spot of the apartment has got to be the southwest-facing balcony – it’s narrow but long, and offers up incredible views of the River Tagus and the 25th April Bridge at sunset. Bring your evening aperitif outside as you watch the sky’s colours change, or enjoy your morning coffees out here as day settles over the city. The inside of the house is extremely welcoming – there’s a large marble dining table for meals all together and a bright, stylish living room that’s been dynamically designed. At the end of a long day, wash up in the roomy bathrooms before settling in the bedrooms, where you’ll rest easy in anticipation of another beautiful Lisbon day tomorrow.

Home truths:
*With a random assortment of matching cups, plates and wine glasses available, this apartment is not ideal for hosting elaborate dinner parties
*There are two steep steps outside and one inside that make this home inaccessible for wheelchair access
*When the air conditioning is turned on, there's a quiet but noticeable noise
*This home is in a neighbourhood that gets very popular on weekend nights, when bars spill out onto the streets and fill with tourists and locals alike
