Context: Digital nomad living out of Airbnbs for the last 18 months staying as a couple for 5 nights.
TLDR overall: 3.5 stars, amazing location, good communication, borderline unusable internet if you do any sort of video calling for work, can’t recommend for winter but I’m sure the place is much nicer in other seasons
I’d be wary of the high reviews. The host asked me not to put any negative reviews and to only message them on private. To me, that seems dishonest. I have reflected my true thoughts on this place, see below for details. It’s not a bad place per se, could even be good value just make sure you’re aware of the cons before booking.
Pros:
1) best location
2) host is responsive and allowed us to put bags for check in
3) place is relatively large for a studio
4) laundry machine and a few other amenities
Cons:
1) wifi was pulling 3 download 0.5 upload. Hosts came and put new router and pulled a 12 download and 1 upload with insane amounts of jitter and ping which made video calls almost impossible as it would cut in and out. Even watching Netflix and YouTube was buffering if you were not directly next to the router
2) Heater was not adequate for winter
3) Terrible insulation - ice cold floors
4) Whoever designed the shower needs to be fired - there’s no door and water splashes making the entire bathroom constantly wet
5) Because of the poor insulation and the lack of adequate heating, the floors never dry which means we had a wet bathroom the entire 5 day stay
6) Towels also never dried again because of poor insulation or heating and so we dried ourselves with wet towel each day
