Vanda was a perfect host: chock-full of useful Lisbon information, available when needed and not in your face when you are doing your thing. In fact the only times I saw her was a) for check-in and b) when we had a drink together at a nearby restaurant. My experience with Vanda as a host couldn't have been much better.
The apartment is very conveniently situated, and is old world. It can get a bit warm (there is no AC) but nothing major. It is pretty quiet at night. Definitely recommended.
