I loved the neighborhood -- not as touristy as other parts of Lisbon, but still easy to get to restaurants, bars, etc. It's an old neighborhood, and loved just walking around - many narrow winding alleyways and streets. I walked everywhere, but the train is super close by. When I was there, there were weekend neighborhood block parties that were so joyful and sweet. The apartment has a beautiful view, and it's a cozy place. Cila is very sweet, and a wonderful host. She was there to meet me and my partner when we arrived, and had left us snacks and wine. She gave us a great list of things to do and places to eat. And, she called me a taxi for my departure. I was there for 3 weeks, and couldn't have asked for a better place to stay or a better host!
