The place is bright and clean and modern. With a few full patio window/door, you have a good view of the city. There is a big construction project going on in the neighborhood by Sao Bento train station, the city view will include a crane where there are birds hanging out when the crane is not operating. Birds, particularly seagulls can be noisy at times at bed times. If you come from airport, I think Starbucks at Rua dos Clérigos 73 is the closest point. Even walking from Bento station, it is easier to haul your luggage on Rua dos Clérigos.
