If you are looking for a place to crash with nothing fancy, this is a good option. Hosts are discreet - we share a part of their own place- and was helpful to adjust our visit of the city to the essential for the 3 days of our stay. Many good place to eat around from snacks to more upscale restaurants. Transports are only few minutes walking and if you rather to wander around, you are close to everything. One day spent in Sintra, a tourist trap that you may like if you do not care to spend a lot of Euros in transport and visit tickets. We were there off season (early April) and it was already crowded. Can not imagine what is like in peak season.
