The place is in a great area of the city. Easy to reach by Metro and it's nearby locals are very friendly. It's a bit far from tourist sites, but I think it's a good thing since you want to avoid the large crowds. The metro is just accross the street and it will take you to city central in 10 mins. The place is also very clean and everything is provided. I would recommend this place the next time you visit Lisbon (Lisboa).
