Victor's apartment has a great view and excellent location. The floorplan is very nice, and the unit is very quiet. However we did not have a good stay.
Victor was always quick to answer emails but he was not receptive to feedback and expertly dismissed questions that he did not want to answer. Concerns were either not addressed at all or were addressed in an inadequate manner. Victor will probably reply that he wishes I would have mentioned my concerns during my stay. I was in contact frequently the first day until I realized the effort was useless. Following Airbnb rules and guidelines I reported immediately (within 12hrs of checking in) that the dishwasher door was stuck and I did not want to pull and break it (I sent a picture), and that there was a lot of dust (one of us is sensitive). He said that he knows that the dishwasher opens. With this reassurance, I pulled gently and sure enough the door came loose. He also said that I was welcome to use the cleaning supplies provided and clean the unit myself. I would never give this answer to a new guest. My companion had to leave after 2 nights due to the dust, and the dishwasher could not be serviced until day 6 (of 9). This was too late and I asked that he schedule to service call until after my departure. No cleaning fee was reimbursed nor other compensation given.
Pros, as mentioned above:
_ nice floor plan
_ silence
_ absolutely gorgeous view (and great balcony)
_ good location
_ modern building; safe
If you only plan to be there for a night or two, you don't plan to cook and are not sensitive to dust, this might be a great choice.
Cons
_ if you want to cook, the unit has a good kitchen, but all Teflon pans are scratched and not safe for cooking
_ beware that the washing machine uses very hot water only, regardless of the setting.
_ dust is a problem, as other reviews have pointed out (curtains, carpet, ..)
_ the key is only available until 11pm. If for reasons beyond your control you need to check-in late, you are out of luck, unless you brave calling on the porter, which you are warned not to do under any circumstances. We made it on time but it was stressful not knowing if we would be homeless for the night. Victor only kept repeating that no one would be available to help after 11pm.
This could be a perfect place to stay with a little more effort.
