The pros:
- The location is very nice, close to everything but not swarming with tourists. You're a 5 minute walk from basically all of the major attractions, and 10 minutes from anything else
- The view from the roof is very nice. It's a little small and there aren't any chairs, so you can't spend a lot of time up there, but it is nice to go up and enjoy the view for a bit.
- We did not meet Bernardo but we met his colleague Silvana. She was very nice and helpful. The shower wasnt draining the first night and she came over and unclogged it.
The cons:
- It was so hot. there is one small ceiling unit in the living room, but it did not do nearly enough. especially since the apartment is on the top floor of the building, it got close to unbearably hot at times. there are no fans either.
- Mosquitos! We all got bit many times, even when keeping the windows closed. We each must have killed 10 mosquitos, but every morning we'd wake up with more bites.
- The stairs are tough, but since it is mentioned on the listing I can't be too harsh for them. just know that if you are not good with stairs, this is not a good place to stay.
