Mixed feelings. I read other reviews before booking and don’t know why my experience was so different. Check in hours were very inconvenient (before 8am or “after” 7pm), though on the post it says 3pm. I should have cancelled the booking when she told me this. Since the host wasn’t available at a different time, I agreed on 7pm. However, I messaged her shortly after 7 to let her know I would be there a bit later and because she wanted to go running, we agreed I would make time and get there at 9pm. I told her I would not have a cellphone so I would meet her at 9 as agreed. I rushed through dinner to get there on time and she didn’t get there until 10pm, and only after the portero called her because he felt bad I had been waiting in the hot lobby for so long. When she finally arrived she said she had messaged me to call her when I was done with dinner so she would come back, but I had already told her I wouldn’t have access to my phone, so she couldn’t have expected me to read her message.
Dropping off bags- host offered that I could leave my bags at the lobby earlier that day. I was able to do it but the doorman gave me a bad attitude about how he was not allowed to keep things and much less from guests. I literally only left a large purse, can’t imagine if I had dropped off even a carryon.
WiFi- weak signal on the room so I went to the living room only to find that smoking was allowed by the living room window, inevitably the smoke and smell come right in. I think this should be clear on the posting.
On the plus side, the location is great, close to everything and nice neighborhood. Leaving the check in issue aside, host seemed nice the brief moment I met her.
