The apartment is just wonderful. It’s bright and spacious with fantastic views from the huge windows that look over the plaza to the opera house. The bathroom and the kitchen are large and modern and also very nice. The location is great but it can be a bit noisy early in the morning from the street cleaners. Overall the skateboarding, partying and demonstrations were part of the neighborhood dynamics that we enjoyed. Literally steps away, there are excellent restaurants, bars and especially the bakery!
As much as we liked the apartment, unfortunately there were several maintenance issues and problems stemming from poor communication from our host and our friends were trapped in the elevator at one point for about 15 minutes. regarding the check-in process. Weeks before arriving I messaged for information about parking and did not get a response until the night before arriving. The check/in instructions were inaccurate. There was no electronic lock as indicated in the instructions. We arrived and stood at the door scouring our communications with Airbnb and the host looking for the code to get in. We finally had a message come through from our host that was sent 15 minutes before check-in letting us know how to get in.
