The location is hard to beat for centrality and having some of the fun-est and liveliest parts of Lisbon at one's doorstep. The views are as good as in the photos, plus they are almost 360 degrees from the various windows in the loft apartment. Many restaurants close by, but also a neat little supermarket for breakfasts and own-prepared meals. Host family was kind, with one member in the same building, but never needed to contract them after they introduced me to the place, etc. Highly recommended.
