If you want a very involved host, it would be Oscar. He has a lot of stories to tell and recommendations for places in the neighborhood. Personally, I was able to Yelp better places more towards my taste buds. He was nice enough to let me drop off my bag early since I wanted to check out Sintra so that was great. His room is behind a curtain next to ours and was quite during our stay. The apt is central to the city and has a nice plaza with food within walking distance. There wasn't a fan or AC in our room and the hot water was complex to turn on for a shower. It gets kind of warm at nights since our stay was during the summer. That's my only compliant.
