The Apartment
Persian is arranged over two floors. Downstairs: living room, kitchen, a separate dining room and a bathroom. Upstairs: two bedrooms, a second bathroom, and a games room that most apartments this size would have turned into a box room.
The separation of floors is the useful part — the people who want to keep talking and the people who want to sleep are not in the same space. Heated floors throughout.
What you get
- Duplex over two floors
- Games room
- Heated floors
- Separate dining room
- Full kitchen
- Oven, hob and dishwasher
- Washer and dryer in the apartment
- Air conditioning, WiFi and television
- Fresh linen and towels, cleaned between stays
These are apartments rather than hotel rooms: there is no reception desk, and every one has a proper kitchen and its own laundry, which is what makes a stay of a week or a season workable.
Chiado, and what is around it
Rua da Misericórdia runs along the spine of Chiado, with Praça Luís de Camões at the bottom of the street and the Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara at the top. The Igreja de São Roque is a minute away on foot, Bairro Alto begins immediately behind the building, and Rua Garrett, the Baixa and the river are all downhill.
