The location was great and perfect for a couple. We were thinking about staying in Alfama but are so glad we chose Chiado. You are in the middle of everything. You basically walk out of the front door, turn left and walk up a hill to the castle (Castelo de S. Jorge). You are a 2 min walk from Arco da Rua Augusta (a beautiful arch and square), a 15-20 min walk from Bairro Alto where you can enjoy the nightlife, and Tuk Tuk tours can easily swing by out front and get you. There is a grocery store about a 10 min walk away too and a great sports bar next door. And if you don't want to walk from your new home base you can grab an Uber. It is only around € 3-5 to get to most main areas. We had Raquel's assistant Daiana pick us up at the airport, which was nice because she shared a little about the area. The water pressure was great in the shower, the bed was comfy and there was a nice coffee pod machine to use. We cooked breakfast every morning in the kitchen and had everything we needed. The balcony was a nice spot to sip on wine before heading out to dinner. You might read in the other reviews that it is a little noisy, and it is. You are on a main street where the famous Tram 28 drives by. So if you are a light sleeper you might want to pack earplugs to be safe. We were used to it after a couple of nights. And yes, it is a hike up the 4 flights of stairs, but we did not mind the extra workout. Thanks Raquel!
