The House is at the first floor of a small street in Bairro Alto, and that is a big problem because is full of people walking through and talking loud even at late night (I mean 4-6 AM), so you must buy earplugs if you want to sleep. The entrance is very narrow, old and decrepit, with a sensor that turn (trys to turn) the light on, it doesn't really work well, it just switch on the light after about two meters of stairs-climbing. If you arrive at night, for the first two meters of stairs it seems to be in a horror film or just a run down building. Ah, keep in mind that the street Always smells of pee... The house itself isn't bad, maybe if you want just to have fun in Bairro Alto can be a good choice. But if you plan to visit the city, its not the right house. Also the bathroom would need a restoration, I was very near to slide into the bathtub-shower several times, and i was just trying to get in. Also keep in mind that the house its about 15 minutes walking distance from metro station, ant there is a little bit of climb to do when going from metro to house. For me, the house isn't worth the price. By the other side, Patricia is a very friendly and helpfull host, she had given to us precise instruction for check-in/out and was very responsive to messages. The house was perfectly clean and nothing was missing, everything tidy and clean, we had wifi, clean towel and clean bed clothes.
