Sandra's place is in a great location and she has plenty of local knowledge on the best places to eat in Mouraria and the best things to see in Lisbon. She also gave us great advice for Queluz and Sintra, both what to see and where/what to eat. It was our first visit to LIsbon (well, I suppose not technically in my case as I was on a Union Castle mailboat that docked there in 1955!) but we found the Lisboaistas lovely people and their vibrant city a bit of a revelation - both the food which is brilliant and good value , and the artwork which is superlative and accessible .... It is sad that property speculators are sitting on so many characterful dilapidated buildings and waiting for them to fall down completely so that they can make a financial killing.The public transport confused us a bit at times but there is no question that once you get the hang of it, Sandra's is a great place to base yourself. It was spotlessly clean and well appointed - everything that we could possibly need.
