We had a nice stay in the Intendente area. This is an up and coming area for Lisbon. While at first you might think you're a bit further out from the historical city center, you quickly realize that in 10-15 minutes you're in the heart by walking. In no time, you are in Rossio and from there all of the main touristic sites are available. Plus, you have a very convenient Metro station if you prefer. Not to mention, Ubers are great in Lisbon and just a few Euros. The apartment is near the revitalized Intendente Square as well. Yes, you'll be in a more cultural cross-roads area but that also makes it interesting. You can see the path of progress in Lisbon heading this way. There are some nice places to eat as well (try Brick Cafe for breakfast) The apartment is small/cozy but has everything you need for two people. The bathroom is actually quite spacious with plenty of countertop space which is nice. Internet speed was excellent as well.
