the apartment is a perfect base to explore Lisbon. the living room (great couch) with an open kitchen is a cosy space to relax after that exploration. I had a long-stay and this offered me the perfect setting. A quiet place, not crowded by tourists, but only a walk away from all the must-sees. And public transport is across the street (bus) or around the corner (metro at Rato). Rua de Sao Bento has a lot of traffic during the day, but becomes quiet in the evening. Anyway, the living room with terras is at the back, so no trouble. Maria was very attentive and easy to reach.
