We would recommend the apartment itself - it is well-priced, clean and pleasant. There are bars in the street outside which start to get busy around 11pm and are very loud at the 1.30pm-2am mark, in particular. Monday-Thursday they are open until 2am and Friday-Sunday until 3am (we were told). Each night we had to use earplugs & take sleeping pills and even then we were woken up. We would not recommend anyone stay in this area of Lisbon unless you like to party late or sleep very deeply. We would recommend the apartment itself but not the area - there are over 300 bars in this area we were told and you can definitely tell! We took a video just to capture the noise in the apartment and would post it here if we were able to add videos to reviews - it is so loud, it sounds as though the party is in the apartment itself. Communication with Catarina was good. We had trouble getting in the first night as their lock system wasn't functioning correctly, but fortunately we were able to get on the phone with Catarina and then her very nice husband let us in (we did have to wait 25 mins for him to arrive as they live in a different area - so we were delayed about 35 minutes outside once we had arrived). Again, good apartment but incredibly noisy area.
