This is an apartment with two bedrooms, only one of which with a private built-in bathroom. Along with these 2 bedrooms, the whole large living-room is divided in 2 and also receive guests who sleep on couches and improvised beds. This space is separated by curtains from the rest of the apartment. There is one extra bathroom serving all these guests. The kitchen and small laundry are shared areas. You can use the laundry, but you have to pay additional 10 euros to use the kitchen.
There is no Wi-Fi available.
I stayed in the bedroom with a private bathroom. It was spacious and bright, with a balcony shared with the next door bedroom. The furniture is old, but pleasant. There is a blind to block light from outside, but the inner door has glass in it and it is only protected by a thin curtain.
In the bathroom, I had a hard time regulating the water temperature and positioning the shower head. The mattress is old and a bit uncomfortable and new towels, sheets and pillows could be used.
I stayed for a whole week and the idea was to rest a little, but unfortunately I was very annoyed by the noise of a distant siren in the neighborhood, not too loud, but intermittent 24 hours a day, made a little better with closed windows. At night I also felt bothered with people’s noise and light coming through the bedroom’s door, specially since the kitchen is right in front this bedroom.
In addition, many times the kitchen was not clean enough with garbage accumulating and rests of food in the sink. Although I was not even using the kitchen, this smell along with smell coming from the other bathroom invaded the whole apartment and made it very unpleasant to be around.
No-one lives in the apartment. It belongs to Natalia and it is taken care of also by Elena, who I met on my check-in. They were both very nice, helpful and available by WhatsApp all the time. Nevertheless, my feeling was that the whole place lacks better care and more daily assistance, once there are many people coming and going.
Most unfortunately, though, is that the neighborhood is very unsafe at night. I came through a bunch of guys who were fighting among themselves and blocking the main avenue, when I had to leave very early in the morning to catch my flight (apparently drug dealers). I really felt terrified and was very lucky to be helped by a guy who was making a delivery at that time (4:30 am) and offered me a ride to the train station. Specially women guests should be aware not to walk alone late at night/early morning.
