This studio is in a great location for exploring B.A, However, we had a not so good experience which would make me hesitate to recommend it. The host initially got the date of our arrival wrong and emailed me asking our whereabouts as he had someone waiting at the studio to let us in. Trouble was that our reservation was for a month later.
When we did arrive, the host was not there to let us in, as he had indicated he would be. When he finally arrived an hour and a half late, he had not checked the condition of the studio. It had not been cleaned, the linens had not been changed and he couldn't locate a spare key. He was apologetic and told us he would be back in 15 minutes with clean towels and we never saw him again. After waiting for a couple of hours and leaving a phone message, we bumped into a stranger in the lobby later than evening who handed us clean towels for the bathroom but nothing for the kitchen or pool. While waiting for the host we had cleaned the entire apartment. It had clearly not been cleaned in a while.
The following day we returned from our day out to find a maid had come and cleaned again. Carlos had left a bottle of champagne-a nice gesture-but then called and woke us up at midnight to make sure we had seen the champagne. This did not make us feel better!
The day before our departure we emailed Carlos to see if we could arrange to check out a couple of hours late but never did get a response.
Unfortunately it seems that Carlos is not very attentive to his suite. This did impact our stay and I would definitely not suggest reserving this studio. The neighbourhood is great-choose a different reservation and have a fabulous time exploring this vibrant city.
