Lorenzo was great, and his communication was good. Check-in was odd because it was not in the listing that this unit was in hotel Casa Billi, and you need to buzz Casa Billi for your first entry. While the pictures and description show the unit as it is, it cannot be overstated how little room there is to stand upright in the living area. The majority of the time spent in the unit, you will not be able to stand straight. And we are average height. The kitchen smelled a little bad, I think due to some old sponges in the sink, but we did not spend any time in there. We also suffered from some mosquitos in the unit (we killed a few but there were more), but I know that they are everywhere in this region. The location is fantastic, you open the door to the hustle and bustle outside. And you can’t hear any of it in the unit. Lorenzo also offered luggage storage on our last day in the hallway within Casa Billi where others staying at Casa Billi have access. I felt it was safe enough.
I think in summary it is challenging to recommend this unit because of the height. In a pinch with no other options, it will do, but I don’t recommend staying more than a couple nights for the sake of your back. We found ourselves wishing we had booked a real hotel room with a more livable space.
Not much of this is any fault of Lorenzo’s I suppose, he is a good host, but know what you are booking before you do so.
