We are a family with 4 kids and the apartment had enough space (and 2 floors) so that it was possible to retreat and relax at home after a strenuous day in the city. The neighborhood was extremely friendly and very helpful, nice and modest. We also never had any complaints due to our lively and (sometimes) noisy children. In the evening we often enjoyed an aperitif at "da Alfredo" just on the ground floor of the building. There is a small shop just around the corner where you can find the necessary things for a simple meal.
We had one day a problem with the water-heating that was solved very quickly by Elsa and Rui.
Lisbon is for me sort of a mystic city full of secret places with a rich history that is still alive in every corner of the old town.
We enjoyed our stay very much.
