I had an extended stay at the apartment and I couldn’t have found a more comfortable place to live! It’s clean, spacious and perfectly located. There is a grocery store across the street and so many bars and restaurants nearby (you can spot Pink Street from one of the windows!)...you can also walk to the river or to the main Chiado shopping area in minutes. I’d say the area is lively and energetic but not loud (I was worried about that because I had to work most days, but it was more than fine). Check in and check out were seamless and the host was very responsive throughout so I really felt looked after. And the balcony, even if small, was charming! I will definitely be staying here again and recommending the place to my friends when they visit.
