I’m sure this is a perfect apartment when the building around is not in full reconstruction. Mario was very kind, attentive and communicative, even though we ran into some big problems. He took full responsibility for underestimating the situation we found at our arrival. I’m happy we managed to find a solution within hours.
Communication about the current situation of this otherwise beautiful apartment could be improved though. The information we received only a week before our arrival about 'some maintenance' going on turned out to be an understatement. We arrived in the middle of a building block that was in full reconstruction, though not in the apartment itself. Who knows, at any other stadium in the building process it might have worked out. In this case the promise of 'no dust and no noise' was not kept. The dust prevented us from opening any of the windows and was in the air after shortly opening the front door to come in. On top of that there was a group of loud construction workers directly on the roof over the apartment making a noise as if a bison herd was passing. They even warned us not to step out of the door for our safety, because of debris coming down.
The situation with the reconstruction was understated, but once we complained Mario was very open and cooperative to solving the problem. We left the apartment and got a full refund and were lucky enough to find another place which were we enjoyed the rest of our days on the island.
I’d like to think we just had bad luck with the timing and Mario being out of town and not being able to assess the situation personally. I hope others will enjoy the apartment and the soon to be reconstructed building that gives entrance to it.
