I’m going to “sandwich”’my feedback about staying at this apartment:
1) it has a beautiful view of the ocean, from every room in the apartment. It is truly very calming and just what I was looking for when I booked this unit.
2) we had a terrible stay. The apt is very outdated and in disrepair. The curtains are ripped and plasticky material, the couch is a love seat and smells bad, the walls need punting, the furniture is falling apart/chipping and nothing matches. The apt wasn’t that clean our feet were dirty from walking around, sheets and towels did not smell freshly washed, the walls have holes to the outside, etc. And I could overlook all of it, but on top of it we could not sleep because there is a karaoke/club right outside that stays open with clearly audible music until 4:30am, even with earplugs. Good for those guests who party at nights.

I booked this place for the well known ”Pontal” neighborhood and for the location so close to the beach. I’ve been a guest multiple times and really wanted to love this place but sadly it was very disappointing to stay here. My expectations aren’t high. My husband and I travel a lot and often stay at hostels and budget accommodations; we are simple travelers who backpack as well. However we do have minimum basic requirements and an accurate listing, and this one is deceiving.
