The apartment is very much like it is pictured and it was very clean. It has all the basics one might need, cook ware, utensils, plates, etc. extra sheets and blankets, cleaning supplies. It has a nice view of the canal and you hear the church bells chime all day and night.
It is on the 3rd floor and it is quite a hike up those steps. There is a light on a timer by the entrance, (wish someone would’ve mentioned that) walking up in the dark with the phone flashlight was creepy.
The bathroom was not my favorite part. I took baths the whole time because the shower set up was not great. And the door is low and if you’re a tall person, you’ll definitely crack your head a few times. But there is a really cool view of the church top from the skylight.
It’s very quiet in the apartment, the bed was rather comfortable and I slept well. Strangely, there were a lot of mosquitoes and I’d wake up with bites on my face and hands. This went on for weeks.
I’d rented the apartment for almost a month. I’d asked about receiving mail there and was not given good information. The mail that was sent to me never arrived and my request was treated as if it were an annoying question.
I found Rosanna, the apartment manager to be unpleasant to deal with. My plane arrived late and I told her this, and I went to the apartment as soon as I could but she was very upset with me and it started my trip off poorly. After this anytime I tried to contact her the interactions were uncomfortable. I ended up leaving 9 days early and forfeited 500$. No one asked why. It didn’t seem like there was much concern for guest satisfaction, just interest in keeping it rented.
