Great place in a great location; handy to the major sites and attractions but in a nice neighbourhood with a more of a local feel. Great restaurants, bars and coffee within minutes. Restaurant 'A Cevicheria' nearby not to be missed. Handy to the metro (Rato station) for an easy trip to and from the airport and 15-20 minutes walk to Rossio station (train to Sintra). I found it quiet and relaxing when I was in the apartment - no buses or major traffic on this residential street. I would recommend staying here to others looking to see both the tourist sites and get a feel for local life as well.
