The location is great although Lisbon is hard to navigate easily. Calcada do Duque has a lot of stairs especially down to Rossio. We figured out that it was easier to get to the Baixa-Chiado Metro stop for us as we were older and a slope is easier than stairs. There is a great mirador 'behind' Sao Roque and nice placa by Museu do Carmo. Just to the right of Carmo is free access to the lower platform of the Sant Justa Elevator. An adequate grocery store is just around the corner. Clean and very quiet when you shut the windows. Bang for the buck rating is a 10! Owner made sure we were greeted when we arrived. Overall a great choice. Only used the refrigerator in the kitchen for wine and water. We ate out every night. And enjoyed EVERY meal.
