4/10 Fair
Jun 13, 2026
WARNING: This apartment is located on Bairro Alto’s main party street. If you’re sensitive to noise, this is probably not the place for you. If you’re looking for nightlife, however, the location is ideal.
Even on the 4th floor with the windows closed, the noise and bass from the bars and clubs below were clearly noticeable. We bought earplugs, but still didn’t get a full night’s sleep during our 5-night stay.
The apartment itself was clean and generally well maintained. The kitchen was well equipped, the air conditioning worked quietly and efficiently, and the space was tidy. The main downside was a bathroom sink that clogged easily. The building is old and not soundproof.
Communication before arrival was frustrating. We completed the required check-in form several days in advance but never received confirmation or instructions regarding key collection. Multiple messages to the host resulted only in automated replies. On the day of arrival, I had to call the listed number, only to reach someone who couldn’t assist. Later, I was asked by email to call a different number, where I was informed of a late check-in fee because we arrived after 10 PM.
The host met us at the apartment (which we appreciated), but we were charged €70 for late check-in and daily taxes. The fees were not communicated clearly beforehand and felt questionable.
If you choose this accommodation, I strongly recommend confirming all check-in procedures and additional charges with the host before arrival.
