The pros:
- Great location, two blocks away from the beach and has a grocery store right in front
- Has a doorman which is pretty useful and makes you feel safe
- Nice apartment, decent size for 2 people and you can accommodate guests in the couch and even in the hammock
The cons:
- The apartment was not in a state to receive guests. On my first night I had an allergic reaction due to all the mold accumulated in the apartment; this is the first time I’ve even been allergic to anything. We had to hire a cleaning lady to clean the apartment and wash sheets. This in itself takes a lot of value of the current apartment.
- The hammock they left for us when we arrived was broken. For a $2K/month apartment you’d expect everything inside the apartment is in great condition. We had to ask for a new hammock.
- We chose this apartment in great deal due to the internet advertising in case the pandemic would make us work from home, but I faced so many issues with the internet, days it would drop for over an hour even in the middle of a work day. It’s not a reliable connection and you should save some money, get a cheaper place, and go to a coworking space.
Conclusion: Good unit, but overpriced for the value received. I recommend it to be cleaned before receiving guests if left vacant for a prolonged period as some of us wouldn’t know how to navigate an allergic reaction in a country where I barely speak their language.
