2 bedrooms-marques-privategarden-groundflooor is in a former, traditional older home that has since been broken up into several units. This is the ground floor unit and includes some covered outdoor space as well as a charming open, landscaped area with loungers. The usable area is quite deep which provides a feeling of spaciousness but also puts the main living area a bit removed from any natural light so that space (unlike the photos) is a bit dark. The two bedrooms are separated quite nicely so this unit would make a nice option for families.
The building faces a charming square which houses the Marquês metro stop. There is a bit of activity on the street with cafes, buses and some panhandling (nothing terrible). You are well protected from street noise as this unit is in the back and out in the garden area it’s amazing how quiet it is. As others have mentioned there is risk from noise from other units, particularly from upstairs. It was quiet while we were there but we definitely knew when someone was walking above.
I found the bed to be reasonable though nothing luxurious. It should be noted that there is no AC unit in the main bedroom but using the unit in the main living space seemed to keep this bedroom cool at night. The bathroom wasn’t the most modern but worked just great and was relatively spacious.
This apartment gets a special mention for the ability to store luggage in the entrance hallway if the apartment is not yet check-in ready. All-in-all I’d do this one again.
