Right by Lisbon's thriving historical centre, this characterful building dates back to the fifties. Its elegant curved facade leads to an imposing clock tower that provides breathtaking views towards the river Tagus. Inside, the apartment is decked out with high-end furnishings and a fully equipped kitchenette. The contemporary decor is all clean lines and zero clutter, so it's more similar to the feel of a high-end hotel rather than a lived-in home. Step outside, and you're close to the neighbourhood's famous 'Pink Street', and Cais do Sodré train and tube stations. Perhaps best of all, the apartment is only a minute away from the lively Mercado da Ribeira – the city's main food market sells everything from fresh fish to sumptuous street food and is frequented by diverse crowds throughout the day. Slightly further afield, Downtown Lisbon is a five-minute walk, with numerous cafes and shops to tempt you in along the route. Finally, for a slice of history, head to Castelo de São Jorge Castle, a little under a mile away.
