For me staying with Manuel was like staying with an old friend. He is very kind and energetic. Always excited to tell you about the area, history etc. Furthermore he explained me very thoroughly how to get to all the places I wanted to visit and did some suggestions.
The room and facilities are great, as is the connection to public transport.
Every morning there was beautiful music playing after the city wakes you up to let you know there is a new day to discover Lissabon, Sintra and the surrounding area. Definite recommendation.
