We think that all the previous positive reviews, regarding the host Ricardo and his apartment, are correct and don't need to be repeated.
Unfortunately, we didn't have that good luck. We discovered, after our arrival, that a big re-construction project is ongoing in the adjacent building, just few meters (3-4 meters) outside of our apartment's rear windows. The worst part of it was that they started very noisy works (debris removal with use of construction vehicles) early in the morning - at 6 am.
It's hard to believe that the host didn't know anything about this problem and he didn't warn us upfront. It was also frustrating that during our stay Ricardo provided us with empty wishes of good night and promises that the noise will stop. It didn't happen.
I would note also that the apartment was rather cold in January, and we were not able to enjoy its nice common areas because we had to use the available electric heaters in the bedrooms and bathroom.
