Alexandra’s place in Bairro Alto is a traveler’s dream when it comes to finding the most authentic local place to stay in. It is located in one of the trendiest part of Lisbon and very walkable! The apartment was very clean and had all the usual amenities. The climb up the stairs was challenging with our luggage, but we already expected that based on others’ reviews, so no complaints. Unfortunately there were a few things that could’ve been done better to make our stay more comfortable as guests. 1) The lock for the door needed a strange tactic to open but it wasn’t mentioned in our check-in instructions, so we had to text her and wait for response before we could figure out how to get in. 2) The shower stall was not properly sealed and leaked water. 3) Most concerningly, the washer plug was connected to a power strip laying on the floor. The washer leaked during cycle and water got into the power strip, tripping the breaker! A major fire hazard that wasn’t taken seriously by the host!
