We were the first guests to stay in this AirBnB ‘post lockdown’. Despite the unusual circumstances, the apartment was immaculate and thoughtfully decorated. Our host, Veronica was kind and welcoming and easy to communicate with. It made the stay easier.
However, we must be honest and give a full and fair review. As such, we were initially surprised and disappointed by the standard of amenities provided. It made it challenging to use any cooking facilities when the space was so sparse and overall did not feel ‘bespoke’ nor considered; which we have found in other Air BnB properties. The space felt rather unloved and despite a few dishwasher tablets, all other cupboards were rendered empty.
Similarly whilst the location was ideal and central, we must be fair and agree with previous comments regarding the safety. Within the compound it felt secure and homely, yet stepping outside the gates of the property was not always an enjoyable experience. This studio location would not be safe for a female traveller alone at night. Additionally, the swarms of mosquitos which we had not expected, made it difficult to enjoy the evenings in the property. The neighbours could be loud and despite us having no issues with any form of building work, the outdoor security light that shines directly into the main bedroom made sleep at times unbearable. The Air Conditioning was effective but very loud.
Overall this property was above average. However there are certainly improvements to be made to make us want to stay again. Please change the situation regarding the light upstairs, and continue to make improvements to the supplies for guests.
Thank you
