The apartment is very nice and as presented in the photos. Has all the things someone might need for a stay (i.e. iron and washing machine which was helpful given I was visiting for a wedding). Just be careful of the shower, can get very hot.
The issue was that there were construction works going on immediately next door so impossible to enjoy the apartment much less get some work done. I noted I hope there were not works going upon check in. I sent a message to the host the same day and did not hear back for three days. This felt disappointing. I left a day early in the end - I felt like it ruined my stay
a bit and I would not have chosen to stay in an apartment were there works going on so close. I was told the works would stop and they didn't. I provided video evidence of the same. The host refunded the night I did not stay and a small additional amount, I appreciate that Ricardo did this and tried to be a good host although initially unresponsive. I really appreciate that the host sought to do the right thing.
