Good and Bad!

There was much to like about this apartment: The furnishings were very modern and the space was very bright. The kitchen was well equipped with dishes and utensils. I enjoyed the terrace quite a bit during my stay. The location is quite spectacular with many restaurants, bars and sidewalk cafés to choose from. I particularly enjoyed "Brandon" (about a four block walk) and "Lupita". Luciano was very communicative prior to my arrival and responded to concerns soon after arriving. Then he went silent.

The main problem has to do with extremely poor water pressure and, occasionaly, NO hot water. One must alot plenty of time for ones shower. The water literally drips out of the shower head. Quite unpleasant for someone as myself who is always in lightning speed mode. Additionally, the upstairs a/c unit is not working. When I brought both of these issues to Luciano's attention, he promptly responded, sent someone to correct the a/c, but it continued just as before. His response concerning the poor water and hot water issue was that it was a problem with the building, not his. He had no other solutions at the time, as I requested to be moved to another property. So, I "stuck it out"... but was not happy. I will not return to this apartment.

There is major construction happening next door. The drilling, hammering and banging begins quite early.

The wifi sometimes slows to a crawl, but mostly good.

In summary: There were many moments that I did enjoy at this apartment and I particularly liked the surroundings. The small kiosk at the base of the building is very convenient. I believe the price was adequate to the product. Good value. However, I was happy to leave and get a great shower with lots of hot water, soon thereafter! If Luciano can correct these issues, this will be a great apartment.
