Practical and functional in the lower city of Lisbon
With small pieces in a row ... this apartment really takes advantage of its old architectural attributes in a decor completely renovated in a simple and functional style in the heart of the old downtown.
The apartment:
Located in a street perpendicular to the famous Rua Augusta, the Comercio 4E apartment is a duplex apartment. It occupies the fourth floor (with no lift !) of a typical building of this Baixa Pombalina district entirely reconstructed upon the Marquês de Pombal’s initiative after the 1755 earthquake.
A family or a group of 5 friends will enjoy this flat which comprises three bedrooms and one bathroom with walk-in shower. One bedroom features a single bed (Bedroom without window), the second and third bedroom feature two twin beds.
The lounge area is composed of a small living room and a small dining room and a separate kitchen. In the living area, there is a sofa, a side table and a TV set which is connected to satellite channels. The kitchen area is in simple style and provides full kitchenware as well as all modern equipment you may need.
If you stay at the Comercio 4E apartment, you will enjoy all the nearby restaurants and walk to all the city sights.
Baixa
The Baixa which means “downtown” is delimited by a hill on each side : Chiado and Bairro Alto on one side and the Castelo hill on the other side. Until the end of the XIXth century, the city was entirely dedicated to the trade business with the Indies. Any ship coming from the colonies would dock at Terreiro do Paço. It is in this same area that king D. Manuel ordered his Palace to be built in the XVIth century. But in 1755, an earthquake destroyed entirely this part of the city and it had to be reconstructed, following this time a geometric grid design for streets and squares. Trade activity always took place in the Praça do Comercio under the arcades, by the Tagus river bank, but nowadays it gave place to Ministries. From the square start several shopping streets, like the rua Augusta, a very busy pedestrian street with cafes and stores. The Baixa area stretches until Rossio, the most central square of the city, famous for its cafés, like café “Nicola” or the pastry “Suiça”, but also for its train station, a beautiful monumental building with a superb typical façade of Manuelin style, where all trains leave to Sintra.
