This is a very beautiful and special place to stay. As a solo female traveller I felt safe and comfortable. Check in and out were smooth and easy. Rui was welcoming and explained everything about the room well. The area is very attractive with the botanical gardens, nice shops and cafes. You can walk to many other nice sights. I was able to take an uber to the airport for about 10 euros. There is some noise as its on the street and close to main door so I did use ear plugs to sleep on some nights. I would strongly recommend this to someone looking for a place with real character and history and a laid back pretty neighbourhood.
