This is a homey place with a friendly, helpful host that really will help you out, spending her time to make sure you have a good experience--like arranging a taxi and assuring me that it's a reputable company that I can rely on. For location, it's a quick trip to the airport--which is what I needed. Since a metro stop is nearby, coming by train is also convenient. For exploring Lisbon, it'll take you 30'-60' to get there. I took the #178 bus and just considered it a cheap tour :) There's also a tour company that offers pick up and drop off AND they're the cheapest for an all day tour to Sintra/Pena palaces and they're a wonderful tour. The room is also on a quiet street with no traffic noise.
