This is the most honest, detailed review of this apartment on AirBnB.
We stayed in this home for 11 nights
While our bedroom had a door, there was glass in the door and only a sheer curtain so everyone could see into our room, especially when the light was on.
The home has 1 bathroom and 4 bedrooms, often with different guests staying in each room. So you don't share the apartment with Elvira; but with her AND all other guests who happen to be there at the time – everyone sharing 1 bathroom and 1 small kitchen. While the owner is friendly, it was not clear from the listing that there may be many guests in the house at the same time.
The water heater stopped on 5 separate days. Fortunately, I was able to restart it to the benefit of all the other guests in the house.
There is no living room, dining area or other place to sit beside your bedroom.
Our room had no closet nor other place to put clothes, so we had to put our clothes on the bed, chair or floor.
The bathroom door is partially broken and difficult to use; it cannot be locked.
Our room had an old TV, but it did not work. Some of the rooms for rent have no TV.
Our bed had a very old foam mattress. It was of poor quality and uncomfortable. The pillows were also very old, flat foam and uncomfortable.
The Wifi was around 30 Mbps maximum download from our room, but some rooms had a signal as slow as 6 Mbps due to the walls inside the apartment.
Maid service comes Monday and Thursday. Once the laundered bed sheets were hanging from the ceiling for 4 days (from Thursday to Monday)
The apartment feels dark. The only windows in the apartment have frosted glass and open to the courtyard. There are no windows on the street.
The apartment is over stuffed with furniture and clutter. There are hundreds of dusty magazines and books.
While the bathroom and kitchen were relatively clean, the whole apartment is rather dirty, dusty and in need of maintenance. Paint is peeling from the walls with dust and spider webs hanging from ceiling and lights.
The classic architecture could be beautiful, if the apartment was not so neglected.
Overall, this is a 3 star stay, meaning it was okay.
