For us it was a good location near subway trains and easy to walk into the city or castle are. The flat is great and comfortable for a few days or a week. We had a heavy suitcase so carrying it up three flights was tough, but that is our fault. The host was great and very helpful and ensured we enjoyed Lisbon. We would stay again. Print out a good street map before going. Coffee and cakes in the bread shops is just so tempting and inexpensive. If you go to the Time Out restaurant market go early lunch or 18.30 to get seats. We walked every where.
