It was fun to be staying in the midst of the hussle and bustle of Lisbon. The location felt very safe and was convenient to a lot of restaurants and the metro and train station. We recommend taking one of the many free walking tour around Chiado and getting a Lisboa card, taking the train or tram and going to Belem to see the sites there. You do need to save some energy at the end of the day to walk the four flights up to the flat but it wasn't a problem.
