After reading an almost endless amount of good reviews our expectancies where quite high. And indeed the location and the building are great.
But we expected a super friendly host, a fully equipped kitchen; as was displayed on the pictures and a nice and comfortable luxury room; as was described by previous guests. Unfortunately none of our expectancies where met. We were not allowed to use the dishwasher, and where told so in a super rude and unfriendly way by Jacobo’s girlfriend; because according to her the electricity was too expensive during peak hours; we suggested only using it at low rate hours, but she declined and told us (no not requested) to hand wash the dishes. Which on its own would not have been a problem, but there’s no dry rack or clean drying cloths or space to place the wet dishes. The situation got worse when Jacobo send us a text message saying we could not use the dishwasher because it was broken; perhaps next time he should verify the story his GF told first.
The general kitchen hygiene wasn’t great either. The was a cloth in the sink, and despite my efforts to hang it to dry, our hosts kept tossing it back in the sink so a layer of grime and slime grew on it. The was a serious lack of cutlery, because despite the GF’s story that our hosts did not eat at home, every day less cutlery was available because they’d placed those in the “broken” dishwasher after using them. On our last 2 days the trash started smelling too.
The room itself was okay; tough the matrass was too soft for our backs and the bed is very squeaky. We were provided with enough toilet paper for 2 days while we stayed there for 5. There was no space at all to hang anything: not clothing, nor towels.
The hosts I believe aren’t in a very loving relationship; as they were screaming at each other and slamming doors every night of our stay; that way keeping me awake for a large part of the night.
Overall this apartment may be nice to stay for two nights maximum; but don’t cook or eat in and don't expect a lot of rest.
