My girlfriend and I stayed in the apartment for a few days and really enjoyed both the apartment and Mario. The location is very close (5-10 min walk) to some of the major attractions of Lisbon. There's good food across the street, the train station is within a 7 min walk and a major metro stop is also a 7 minute walk. If you're into night life, Barrio Alto is just up the street. The neighborhood for the apartment, though, is quiet and the bedroom is located in the back of the building away from the street, so there's no issue with noise at night. There's shopping all around Chiado with some particularly good shoe stores in the neighborhood. We were able to do laundry at the apartment, which after traveling for a week was really nice, and the bathroom is newly remodeled. Mario was great, as well. He provided us with advice about the city including maps and suggestions for food, entertainment, etc. The whole experience couldn't have been better. We would definitely stay in the apartment again.
