Great location, walking distance to many of the local sights and sounds of Sintra. Farmer's market is available in the morning 3 days of the week which we made good use of. Be prepared to pay for a parking space. The cost is still VERY reasonable, parking for an entire day still only costs a couple of Euro's, way cheaper than anything you'll find back in the states. We felt safe in this area and enjoyed many quiet mornings walking through the local neighborhood as the area started to come to life each day. Sunsets near the park off of Rua Dr Alfredo Da Costa were spectacular and hard to beat!
