Downside there may be the increased size of the resulting string. And it's not really encrypted - just encoded.
TBH, as a programmed looking at the encoded string probably the first thing I try would be base64 decoding.
Simple 'letter substitution' might be enough - though maybe with a more random mapping than I suggested?
