Easy 10-minute walk to Bolhão or 6-minute to Marquês, located in Rua de Santa Catarina, main shopping street. Focused on organic materials, wooden furniture and kitchenware as well as bespoke elements produced by local artisans, this two storey flat provides a comfortable stay for one or two couples or up to 4 people sharing beds and maybe the small sofa bed for one small person or child. Locally made furniture and other selected items have been carefully selected to make your stay more comfortable and always support local small business owners and promote traditional design. The small bedroom has a queen size mattress on the floor. The large bedroom has a queen size bed and has a private bathroom. Please note that both sleeping areas now have a sliding door dividing the corridor between them. This door can also be closed to create a working space when using the new desk, diving this room from the rest of the house. The living room area has a small but comfortable sofa bed (1.90 x 0.65cm) that can be set as a small bed when requested, ideally for a small person or child. Kitchen is equipped with all essentials, pans, crockery, cutlery, microwave, kettle, toaster, Nespresso coffee machine, washer and dryer, stove and oven. Bathroom is equipped with showers, and boilers can provide up to 5 showers at one time - all towels and fresh clean bedlinen are provided to our guests. The west facing roof terrace has an open view to the main street Rua de Santa Catarina and offers beautiful views of the Atlantic Ocean in Foz, a few kilometres away, and provides a very quiet and sunny spot during sunset. Sun shines across the rooftop from around 11am/12pm to 7/8pm. The flat is located on the 5th floor with lift access, but 5 steps on the way. The flat has low ceiling in the bedroom areas, specially the small room where standing isn’t possible but it gives one this comfortable feeling of being in a small bedroom. Both rooms have plenty of direct sunlight during all day and are located on the upper floor. Access to the bedrooms is made by the spiral stairway (8 steps) or using the building stairs up to the last floor as the flat has two separate but exclusive access doors.
