The area is optimal for young people who seek to enjoy Lisbon night life. You can literally eat, drink and then fall into bed couple minutes later. This does of course come with a certain noise level trade off at night. But with windows closed its very quiet. Everything in the city that you might want to look at is 10-15min max away. The apartment also has everything one needs. We were pleasantly surprised by the safety features that were met and the warm welcome by the hosts.
