I have communicated to the host my dismay about the lack of maintenance at the property, and I recommend staying there only if the host responds to this review with confirmation that repairs have been completed. The main problems involved substantial water seepage from the en suite shower; that issue was compounded by a number of smaller maintenance problems—none of which would have been important in isolation.
The location is very convenient, the rooms light and airy and spacious, and the AC great. The apartment door seemed very secure—a good thing since the building’s front door was rarely locked by others.
The property has a “for sale” sign; so perhaps the host or owner doesn’t find it worthwhile to unvest in minor repairs.
I’ve rarely written a critical review but feel that the issues we faced should be known to future renters.
