The location is ideal for exploring the city, close to the metro, tram, and points of interest but not in the middle of it so perfect for gettig some rest. There are supermarkets and small shops in the area and a street full of asian restaurants right around the corner. The flat is lovely for short stays, with a stunning view of the city. For longer stays it can become a bit uncomfortable, especially in the winter months as the large windows let in a lot of cold (this is very typical in Lisbon) and there is no proper sofa in the living room. For a short trip to the city it is a great place. The handyman who is a neighbor is lovely as is the cleaning lady, very friendly and helpful. We stayed for three months and the host was very gracious and accomodating and helped make our stay as pleasant as possible.
