Luciano was a very gracious host regarding my early arrival, he had the keys waiting for me with the friendly front doorman, after letting myself in Luciano's friend Diego came over to greet me and show me the internet connection etc, in all fairness it's in a convenient location, the subway, buses, supermarket and la panderia´s are all very close, the bed was very comfortable as was the studio in itself, it does need a couple of minor maintenance issues taken care of and a new couch, for example there's dirty grout in the shower and the kettle never worked, another example was the pool, I didn't have any keys for entry to it and it appeared to be unmaintained as the water was dirty and it didn't have any chlorine, in my option this is of no fault Luciano's, maybe a lazy maintenance man.
My major concern was the very popular young lady in the adjacent studio (7d), the day of my arrival (a Thursday) a note was pushed under my door informing me that it was her birthday and that she was going to have a party that I should expect some noise, her party went on till 5am, these partition walls are very thin therefore a sleepless night ensued! Then 2 days later she had another party this time till 6.30am, needless to say I got no sleep again, there were other nights when it was very noisy when she was entertaining her very loud girlfriends, she also goes onto her balcony with friends in the wee hours of the morning for a cigarette and a chat, she's literally 8 feet from the bottom of the bed talking loudly, once you're been woken at 3.30am it's difficult getting back to sleep, in fairness to Luciano I didn't call and complain about it, perhaps I should have as I was there for over 5 weeks, it wasn't much fun listing to their very loud conversations, I'm truly sorry that I'm adding a bit of negativity about this studio, but in fairness to others visitors coming behind me, they should know about your noisy neighbor.
Yet the noise continued until I screamed at her and her boyfriend, which resulted in a fist fight, and me a man of 62 years and her twenty something year old friend, it stopped after that security had a word with her, again in fairness to Luciano, I didn't call you to inform you of your noisy neighbor in the event I was asked to leave, but she is a very big problem!
