We had a very nice trip and the location of the apartment was very convenient to markets, restaurants, subways and buses. It was all in walking distance. We had a nice view to wake up to. The place was clean and had all the necessary kitchen tools to cook meals. VIR, the host, provided a list of restaurants and grocery stores that came in handy. She is quick to respond to out text. Her response time is 1 minute. She was helpful when we were looking for places to wash clothes. She also provides a SUBE card if you want to use the subways and buses.
We ran into 2 issues during our stay.
It's important to know that you need the key to exit the building. When we first arrived, I went to the grocery store and my daughter stayed in the apartment. While I was out, my daughter wanted to go for a walk but she couldn't get out of the building because I had the key. Vir was able to get us a 2nd set of keys the next day so that my daughter and I each had the keys.
On one of the days during the trip the elevator wasn't working. We walked down from the 5th floor. It was not a big deal for that day. However on the last day of our trip, we were leaving for the airport, we had 4 large suitcases plus carry on. The elevator wasn't working and the Uber driver was waiting downstairs. We had to carry all the suitcases down from the 5th floor. This was difficult for me because I have asthma. The host, Vir was trying to be helpful and contacted the superintendent. However by the time he came we had already made 2 trips up and down the staircase from the 5th floor. I then had to make one last trip back up to the apartment to leave the keys. The building key is needed to exit the building so I had to have the key to unlock the building door. As my daughter was holding the building door open, I walked up the stairs again to the 5th floor apartment to drop the keys off in the apartment. Then walk back down to entrance way. Since my daughter was holding open the building door we were able to exit the building.
