We are planning on a week in Lisbon, the last week of February, and I'm trying to pick the right neighborhood for us. We don't usually like to stay right in the tourist center but do like to be near enough to walk or take short (15 - 20 minutes) public transportation. We don't need much nightlife, just local restaurants and safe areas to walk home. Suggestions for places to stay in that neighborhood would be great, too.
We also prefer a small hotel, or a B & B, and might do an Airbnb or serviced apartment. Breakfast doesn't need to be included.
(for some background: here are some places we've stayed. In Paris: le Marais. In Barcelona: Gracia. In Prague: Vinrohadry. In Madrid: Chamberi. In Rome: Testaccio. In Munich: Neuhausen-Nymphenburg)
