Thalis' place is lovely - nicely decorated and good value as it's close to 2 metro stations, has 2 beds, and is well furnished. However, our experience arriving and leaving could have been a lot better.
Thalis arranged for a woman to meet us with the key when we arrived at 5pm. Having arrived on time, we waited 1.5 hours. She did not contact us to let us know that she would be late or when she would arrive, and was unapologetic when we contacted her, despite leaving us outside in the cold.
Later on our first evening, after going out we found the main outer gate was locked. Neither Thalis nor the woman had told us about this (despite asking the woman earlier if it was ever locked), so we were left waiting outside again. When Thalis got back to us he said the gate on the other side of the block stays open, but you need a code, which he only then provided.
It would really help to have key information (like the main outer gate locks after 8/9pm, plus the code for the second gate) or the WiFi details (which were hidden in the bookshelf) provided up front rather than having to ask for everything, or find out the hard way.
In terms of essentials, the hairdryer didn't work, despite the listing stating that one was provided, which meant that I didn't bring mine.
Thalis was very responsive to messages before our stay and during our arrival. He apologised for the wait on arrival and suggested some eateries we could wait in. But towards the end of our stay, he ignored messages asking about where soap and toilet paper were stored as both had run out.
On our final evening, just after 7pm, Thalis messaged to say another group would be coming to the flat the next day so we had to leave by 10am, despite the listing saying check out was 2pm. He acknowledged this but was unapologetic about this sudden change, nor did he thank us for helping by leaving early. We had booked our train according to the stated check out time, so this meant we had to change our plans at the last minute. Had we known beforehand, we would have booked an earlier train to avoid having to carry our luggage around the city.
So overall, a frustrating visit that could have been a lot smoother and more pleasant, but otherwise, an ok place to stay.
