We spent a full week at the Rue do Olival apartment. Although we were originally hoping to book a flat in Chiado, we found this one instead and in the end, were delighted. Much quieter than in Chiado. Super easy bus accessibility (714, 713, 728). We walked everywhere or took the bus. It was easy to walk back from the busyness of the downtown core and know that we were returning to a quiet neighborhood.
There are a number of local restaurants that were awesome: Geographia, La Boulangerie, Tiffin cafe and bakery. All within a block! Wouldn't have needed to go anywhere else.
The apartment is spacious and comfortable for 2 people. Would have felt crowded with more. It's bright and clean.
Finally, the staff at the Guest Ready (the check-in spot) were excellent. So helpful! They gave us excellent suggestions about public transportation, tours, restaurants and things to do. Everything they said was so helpful.
