If you’re looking for the best location with ice cold A/C for the summer heat, this is your place. Walkable to everything a newcomer would want to see and in a great neighborhood. The host was very responsive and easy to reach. We locked ourselves out once and they quickly resolved the issue.
However, please be aware of the following:
1. Being in the heart of everything means you’re above a bar, which plays LOUD music until 3 or 4am. The host was clear about this in the description, so don’t miss this detail. We aren’t light sleepers, so this was okay with us. However, if you’re a light sleeper and can’t sleep on anything uncomfortable (like this rock hard bed), then it’s best you pass this place up.
2. It was really convenient to have the host book airport transfer, but we were told it would be 50 euros, and when it came time to pay the driver, it was 55 euros. Probably an honest mistake by the host.
3. At the time of my stay, there was definitely something wrong with the water heater as the shower would start off hot for a minute, then cycle between long bouts of ICE cold water with intermittent spurts of hot water. The host had some suggestions to improve this, but none of them worked. The last suggestion was to wait for a while for it to turn hot. That shower was ice cold the whole way through. It took serious mental fortitude to get through that shower. Rough.
Ultimately, I liked the Airbnb but wouldn’t return unless I knew for sure I wouldn’t be taking miserably cold showers. The hosts were very kind, but that shower is a big issue.
