Perfect location for exploring Lisbon. The metro station is just across the street and there is a non-touristy pasteleria/cafe just outside the metro entrance that we visited every day. My only warning is that the apartment is on the 5th floor and the bathroom is tiny. This is not meant to be a complaint, just a note in case walking up that many stairs is an issue for you. The balconies are small but offer nice views and a clothesline and pins which was very convenient for us.
