It is decorated with a mix of traditional old Portuguese furniture, with african and Oriental touches, altough in a simple way. This apartment doesn't have cable TV, nor hi-fi and is located on the 1st floor. It has a front balcony, altough narrow. The charm is in the tipicality of the apartment. It is ideal for 2 or 4 persons. The flat is located in Bairro da Bica a very central neighbourhood tucked between the chic Chiado shopping area, the nightlife and restaurants of Bairro Alto, and the beautiful views of the river from the lazy terrace cafés of Santa Catarina. Subway and train lines are within 5mins walking distance, and the 28 tram line to the Castle is just up the street. Originally dating from the XVIth Century, Bica preserves its historic architecture, popular character and strong neighbourhood relations, with small restaurants, shops and grocers, whilst being a magnet for gentrification, attracting fashionable hairstylists and being a centre of hip nightlife. Bica is also famous for its funicular tram (“Elevador da Bica”) a landmark on its main street.
