Even though we didn't have the chance to meet Lauren and Edouard, their friend Xara let us in and helped us get settled.
Lauren and Edouard's apartment is located right in the heart of Alfama and is within easy walking distance of the Castle de Sao Jorge, some amazing viewpoints and places to eat including Tu and Eu and the Pois Cafe. This made it great for exploring!
The bed is really comfy and the shower had great water pressure - both very important after a day hiking around the hills of Lisbon.
Just a note: the entry door is rather narrow and quite stiff to open and you have to ascend a flight of fairly steep stairs to get to the apartment.
