Paolo was a fantastic host! He made sure my friend and I got checked in just fine. The taxi driver did have a hard time finding the place as it’s an apartment on a hill in the heart of the Spanish Quarters. The street are narrow with many people walking, cars driving, and motor bikes winding in and out of places.
Pros:
-Clean and tidy place
-A very responsive host. He even organized a ride of us to get to the airport for an early flight! He was very friendly.
-Two clean bedrooms with two full bathrooms.
-Plenty of towels. Even a mat for the floor to get out of the shower. This is a huge plus!
-Plenty of kitchen items as well as snacks if you do get hungry.
-AC worked liked a charm. It was so relaxing.
-Location is close to the main street area and near shops and bars.
Cons:
-Coffee maker was really dirty with water sitting in it.
-It’s a shared apartment with a more private side for guests. The host does have a room inside but it separated by a hallway and sliding door in which the guest can lock on their side.
-Security camera inside the unit at the front door but not in your space.
-Noisy neighbors. This place is not one for light sleepers. Neighbors have full on conversations throughout the day and night. The walls are very thin.
-Location may be difficult to find for taxi drivers and it’s on a steep hill. We got a good work out! I wouldn’t recommend if you have mobility issues.
