In advance of making the reservation, I asked specific questions because I did not want to have a surprise, since we were bringing our newlywed daughter and husband with us to visit Argentina. The answer I got was that the issues had been resolved. However we were disappointed and unhappy, since the pictures chosen to promote the apartment on Airbnb do not reflect the actual state of the apartment. This unit has multiple issues. The apartment is dirty and neglected, lacking years of maintenance, and it doesn't help that the building is very old too and also not properly maintained. In the mornings they 'clean' the elevator with bleach to a point that you can not breathe while in it, but underneath the filthy rug you can see it has not been cleaned. The dirt on the curtains was nauseating, even though I had specifically asked about that, considering what others had previously posted. We became trapped in the bathroom a few times because the handle didn't work, therefore we couldn't properly close the door when using the bathroom.
The dirt on the sofa was offensive, so they put a cover on top, which was dirty too, although not as much as the sofa itself. I'd be embarrassed to have paying guests having to sit on such a thing. The door of one of the bedrooms could not be closed. There were two thick comforters (which was too much for autumn) and only one thinner blanket. We had to use towels on top of the bed sheets. Since before 8 am each morning it was impossible to sleep due to the constant noise of drilling and hammering. We asked the lady at the door (that seemed to be the caretaker) and she said that construction on the floor above our apartment had been going on for two years. But that fact was never disclosed to us. We felt cheated overall and spoke to the owner, who gave us a small refund, which did not help to make our stay there something pleasant to remember.
