I chose this place because it seemed to have a lot of local charm, which was confirmed in the discovery of several cute cafes and a local farmer’s market just down the street. The space was sweet and cozy, a loft perfectly sized for two travelers.
However, the apartment lacked some basics, such as a shower curtain (leaving the bathroom a mess) and a functional front door lock (so sticky we had to rely upon the host to be let in and out of the apartment). The hallways outside the apartment were taken up by laundry and suitcases of the neighboring AirBnB property of the same owner, so it was difficult to get in and out each day. The apartment was also very hot with the air conditioning not positioned to reach the upstairs bedroom area. Sleeping downstairs on the sofa bed would have been an option, except for multiple large cockroach and spider sightings in the common area, which were major deterrents to spending any time in the space.
Overall, the loft was neat and well cared for, and Milos (host and business partner to the homeowner) was very kind and helpful. However, initiative on the part of the homeowner in fixing some of these basics would provide a much nicer experience for guests.
