As mentioned, it's fair on Normal and Challenging, above that monsters attack AI less and below that they attack the human less. I just wanted to note that settling two tiles away from any lair is safe as long as you do not build any improvements on the lair's side of the village, do not let the village become a town, do not build a monument, i.e. don't let the border expand over the lair.

I'm relatively new to FE though my current game is on hard and essentially won but I'm planning on coasting to the turn limit for the achievement, hehe.
