The communication with Lauren & Edouard was really smooth and I do appreciate that they make the early check-in possible. The pros of the studio: you are in Bario Alto (the old town where most of the night life is taking place), despite the fact that you are next to the loud parties you will not hear the noice, you will find a neat small studio on the second floor of an old building, it is well equipped with plenty of utensils, fridge, there is a tv set with cable tv, Wi-Fi, heater, iron, hangers and all you can need for a short stay, the check-in is with key locks which makes it flexible. The cons of the studio: there is no elevator as the building is old and the steps are a bit tight so be mindful about that if you are planning to travel with bigger suitcase, the front door is not locked which seems to me a bit unsafe in a neighbourhood full of drug dealers and drunk people. Pricewise Lisbon offers a lot of high class hotels for similar price so my advise would be to also check them before you decide.
