Fran is a really good host, he gaves us some advices about Lisbon, the food and visits ! The apartment is nice -> we had a room with the bed and a private bathroom, separated from the room..
It's was quite clean, the own thing to change is the towels .. They swell to much dampness :/.
About the area, it's really good because you're near restaurants, bars and commodities. It's a good area if you want to visit Lisbon :)!
If you want silence and calm, don't go there because it's a area with activities. But the neighbors can be noisy, in fact one of them have chickens who are singing at 4 am.. But if you close the windows it's ok !
I recommend you Fran's apartment for is area, and for the sympathy of Fran ! :)
