We were meant to stay for 4 nights but could not even spend 1 night because of the cleanliness of the flat. The bed smelled so strongly of sweat, it was disgusting. We found ourselves looking for a room, any room but this one, during a very rainy day. We spent 15 minutes in the room and knew we could not spend the night. We decided to take the loss of canceling rather than spend a night. Luckily, we found a hotel just down the street.
The pillows and bed were lumpy, old, and smelled rancid.
This is nothing more than an overpriced hostel. You’re better off booking elsewhere.
The neighborhood is very ghetto, full of prostitutes, although, we did not have any trouble during our stay.
When we canceled, the host stated that nobody had ever mentioned this before. I wish they had, because this smell did not have overnight. We booked this place because of the positive reviews. This was misleading and it cost us more than we had planned on. Definitely regretted this booking and would strongly discourage anyone from booking.
Be aware that there is no elevator. This can prove quite an intensive feat if your luggage is heavy. The staircase is long, narrow, and winding.
