Patricia was very communicative and greeted us just as we were arriving. It is exactly 3 minutes walking from the inside of the flat to your train or 5mins to the metro or bus lines. We had a rail pass so we were able to do many day trips to locations such as Obidos, Sintra, Fatima, Tomar and Belem. You are on the outskirts of the main citylife as it will take about 15-20mins walking to Barrio Alto area for example. The space was plenty large for 2 people and I could see 4 friends staying here comfortably. The view was nice each morning and we saw several cruise ships. The trains can hardly be heard at night. The place was relatively clean. There is a Pingo Doce grocery store in the Santa Apolonia train station, so 3mins away. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Patricias place but make sure you note that it is on the 3rd floor with no elevator. The surrounding location was safe with sidewalks on the nearby streets.
