We decided to stay a few extra days in Lisbon and take it easy due to flight craziness at the time and wanted someplace quiet and suitable as a home office. We were very comfortable here and felt at home. We had a nice time eating at the nearby restaurants and exploring the surrounding neighborhood. The Intendente Metro station is hardly a 3 minute walk away. It is also only a short (but steep) hike up to the beautiful Miradouro da Senhora do Monte viewpoint.
We were told the AC was "not working" despite the units showing standby status lights, so we just had large fans and two evaporative fans. One other thing we observed is that the immediate view/surroundings were a bit unsightly. A few of the neighboring buildings are in disrepair and undergoing restoration. Despite this, we felt that the area seemed as safe as anywhere else in the city and we would not hesitate to stay here again.
