The beds were extremely uncomfortable and there were ants on the windowsills. There was no way to close the shutters on the windows on canal side so there wasn’t much privacy or ability to block the light from coming in early in the morning. The portable ac unit vent kept coming off and actually making the place warmer. We were expecting a private apartment and was surprised that there was another couple staying in the room next door. Each apartment had a separate door but both accessible through a very small hallway after entering a main door. Clearly this used to be a 2 bedroom apartment that was converted into 2 small separate apartments.
The lights in the main vestibule of the apartment building wouldn’t turn on at night when coming back to the apartment which wasn’t comfortable and it was awkward to have to reach around to open the gate from the other side when trying to get back. Twice we got stuck in the bathroom bc the lock is on the outside and not inside. Hot water was only through the handheld shower sprayer and not through the overhead shower head. Wi-Fi information originally provided was incorrect and it took a couple hours to get a response from host to get correct information.
The other couple also staying in basically the same apartment was standing at front door trying to get in for check in as well and couldn’t get in touch with the host. They were told keys would be in lock box for them and they weren’t. We were a group of 3 people and there was only 1 set of keys available so we couldn’t separate or it took coordination for anyone that wanted to go back to the room. We were told if we got there by 130 the cleaning lady would be there and no problem to let us in. She was there when we arrived about 2pm however she didn’t speak any English and was still cleaning. We were only able to drop our bags and had to come back 45 mins later.
It was a very small place for 3 people to cohabitate, thankfully it was only for 2 nights. If you are looking for nothing special and a cheap place it’s fine but I wouldn’t recommend for anymore than a day or 2 as long as you are not looking for anything special at all.
