The place is very nice and ideal for two guests but any more and it would have been a bit difficult - there are just enough dishes and supplies for two people. It is exactly like the pictures. Emanuel was very courteous, respectful, and communicative during the entire process and was always willing to help us with recommendations but sometimes it took a while to actually get the response we were looking for out of him. The location is GREAT as others mention - close to a subway stop, across the street from a convenience store, about 10 minute walk to a large grocery store, very close to restaurants/bars/etc. Both A/C units worked great, and the rooftop pool was AWESOME - again, just as pictured with great views of the city. The 24/7 doorman made us feel safe and was very friendly during a couple instances we had to ask him for a few things.
All that being said, there were a few changes / additions that would have gone a long way: the bath towels are old, crusty, and smelled bad. There was no dish soap when we arrived, and we had to get a new sponge (same as towels - smelled and was old). There were also no pool towels, which, traveling with limited room to pack and then having to buy these (and then leave them behind) was not ideal. The rooftop grill is also advertised in the listing but is difficult to use, plus there are no supplies to use it. Since we were there for 8 days we wanted to cook a couple dinners as opposed to eat out every single night. However, unless you want to go out and buy all the tools, charcoal, kindling, and a lighter it is not worth it. On top of that, the one we used would not close all the way so after we started cooking our meal we had to move it to the oven in the apartment because of this. Finally, the sink in the bathroom has a pressure issue - speaking from experience once or twice, if you pull the lever too high it will hit the basin hard and water will shoot out and all over the floor. Not a deal-breaker by any means, just something to be aware of.
Overall I would definitely recommend staying here. The few things I mentioned can be handled by either you or the host somewhat easily and don't outweigh all the positives of the place and host.
