Pedro is a fantastic host in a fantastic house. Simply remarkable. I was traveling in Europe with my family (6 adults and one 3-month old baby), and we stayed in lots of AirBnBs spread through 4 different countries, dozens of different cities; and it’s a consensus in my family that Pedro’s was THE best apartment we stayed at in all of our trip. Everything was in place, the house is sparkling clean, there were towels, soap, shampoo, water in the fridge... he even went so far as to offer us not one, but TWO bottles of wine as a courtesy for thanking us to choose his place.
Pedro is attentive, he took his time to welcome all of us in person, explain everything, what we could do in the city, where we could eat, what we could see or visit, the works. The man is so efficient, he opened the door to his house as we arrived even before I had a chance to ring the bell.
When I write a review, I like to point out the cons, too, but in this case I’m having a hard time pointing out any downside to this experience at all. If hard-pressed to be nit-picky, I’d probably say there’s a 2-minute-walk hill to get to his place (though there’s an alternative route where you spend a minute longer and it’s not as steep); and that if you have a car with you, it might be hard to find a spot to park (but my family and I could get not only one, but two spots to park). But neither of these issues is really an apartment issue; plus, that’s me trying very hard to find a con to this experience. Because truly there wasn’t any. The pictures on the website don’t do the apartment justice. It’s a great location, central, easy to get anywhere you like, less than 5 minutes from the subway station, there’s a market nearby, and the apartment itself is so cozy and comfortable. Really, no complaints from me. Choosing Pedro had us begin our European trip on a really high note, and perhaps the real downside to all of this was not being able to find another apartment that could beat this one. If you’re reading this, keep calm & book this place. You really can’t go wrong. 10/10.
