The thing I don't like about sshfs is that if the connection drops (for
example, laptop sleep or changing wifi network) you're left with a mount
that hangs - it doesn't unmount, and it doesn't try to reconnect, it's just
a zombie.  It can hang programs that try and access files in there.

According to a stackexchange answer the thing to do is
sshfs -o reconnect,ServerAliveInterval=15,ServerAliveCountMax=3

which doesn't exactly trip off the tongue.  I'll try it.

The unmount command is
fusermount -u
which is also non-obvious.
