I'll be honest, I am a bit surprised that there are so many positive reviews. Not to say that my experience was bad, but it wasn't a typical airbnb experience either. Irismar is nice and welcoming but is a bit too much in your face. I am pretty independent and although I can appreciate a quick chat, I almost started dreading coming home or leaving the room as I knew that would prompt a long conversation. Everything was an ordeal. First, I was told I couldn't leave my towel in the room after shower, but only in the bathroom - fine. Then, the shower doors didn't work so I was showering with doors wide open and water leaking out. The house was not prepared for the heat wave and it was super hot in the room - a fan would have been nice. The blanket was made for a 3 year old child which cut off at my knees. The pillows were the size of my palm. Sleep was uncomfortable to say the least. Then before coming I asked if I could use a blender to make smoothies and this wasn't a problem until I actually started using the blender and Irismar asked me not to put ice in there - it's a blender, it's supposed to work! She was home all the time, constantly. So, if you are traveling as a couple, prepare to have no privacy and good luck sleeping on the air mattress. Location is a bit far from the center but the nice thing is that public transit is right there (bus, metro and train which makes life a lot easier). This was one of the more exhausting airbnb stays. I wouldn't recommend it. Spend a bit more $ and stay closer to the city.
