On the positive side, Allan was a great host and was very helpful and responsive when things broke in the apartment. The apartment is also 3 minutes walk from the beach.
The not-so-great: The apartment is located on a very busy street that gets extremely busy and noisy at night,to the extent we could not use the second bedroom at all. In terms of safety,the area doesn’t feel like the safest, it seems pretty ‘rough’. The furniture is old and uncomfortable, the linen and towels have also been used one too many times. The photos that have been posted on Airbnb are not an accurate reflection of the size of the apartment.
All in all, I’d rather stay at a nice hotel which charges the same rate as this apartment.
