The location was close to the city center and a subway station is a few-minute- walk away. So, it served our purpose all right. We saw no problems in the rooms and enjoyed the stay. The only downside was the surrounding area was not so nice. It is safe and we had no trouble at all but the streets were littered, dog poos smudged here and there, some people loitering, with endless graffiti on the walls, the impression was not great. That said, the area may not stand out in that these issues are ubiquitous in many parts of Lisbon.
