La Cupula is a cool little spot with a great view, but the lack of maintenance, cleanliness and the poor resources the host counted on to help with the problems the apartment had, made our 2 week stay a little difficult. The toilet didn’t work, the water flushed but it didn’t go anywhere. Roberto sent the manager/handyman of the building and he made things worse. Not only did he tell us he couldn’t fix it, but since then, the tank never filled with water again. We had to use a bucket (bathroom trash can) to flush the toilet manually for our entire stay. Roberto wanted to send the same guy again and we said no thanks, he already told us he couldn’t fix it. Since there was only one key, any attempt to fix the toilet or having the cleaning lady come, had to be with us present and on their schedule. Also, we were provided with half a roll of toilet paper, so I had to buy some, along with a sponge for the sink (the one there was very old and worn). The hot water (and this is mentioned in previous reviews) lasts about 8 minutes total, which makes it difficult for 2 people to get ready quickly. I had to minimize the use of water while showering by opening and closing the faucet, every time. Along with many other signs and little details about the overall run-down state of the apt (old towels, old sheets, worn blankets and pillows, dusty floors and trash from previous guests for example) we found the big sofa bed very disappointing, it was clearly not in the same state as you see in the photos, which are obviously old. The sofa looked used and abused, not clean nor inviting. It got worse the last night, when, while we were out during a storm, the bed got wet because a window opened with the wind (none of the windows closed very well, it’s an old building). When we flipped the mattress to dry it out, we saw what was actually under it. Dust, food, a pill, you name it. With all this, Roberto always responded quickly but could never solve the problem. He never offered to come to the Cupula in person to help with the toilet situation, or to let the cleaning lady come in to clean the second time, that we passed on because of scheduling reasons (there was only one key). At the end and after the wet mattress incident, he tried to blame everything on me, the toilet, the wet bed, the filth. Among other things, he told me that now he’s forced to clean the couch/bed because it got wet, however, I think that cleaning is precisely what that sofa needed a long time ago. The view is great and the location is unbeatable, the apartment itself is small but enough for 2 people. The Cupula could be a great spot but it would need some serious attention...
