Manuel's place looks exactly like in pictures. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. He let us a bottle of wine and some capsules for the coffee machine (as we understood from Pedro, who came to check us in because Manuel was in New York, we have only 2 capsules, 1 per person and we can buy more if we want. It felt a bit strange that they can not, at least, leave more coffee capsules. We went and buy some and after that, we found some more in the kitchen cabinet). Although the place looks great (even though when you arrive on the streets there you have doubts that an apartment like that can be in that building), you can see that it is an apartment made for renting and no one ever lived there. The neighborhood feels a bit shady. There are all the time people staying outside of shops, but we never had any issues with that.
We had some issues with the check in. Since Manuel was in New York, Pedro came to check us in. After I managed to contact Manuel, and found that he is actually in New York he told me he send me a message to inform me about this but I never got anything. Pedro arrived there after 15-20 mins of waiting but what was interesting was that while we were waiting on the staircase for someone to come and open the door for us, we saw on the window someone trying to open all the doors around with a key. It was actually Pedro searching for the apartment. It seems that he never was in that apartment but he felt more than free to disclose to us how they have more apartments and rent them trough air bnb . This feels a bit wrong and we felt like being in the middle of a black market business. But I think the thing that offended us the most was Pedro trying to show us how to open the tv. We tried to tell him that we saw a tv before and we do have tvs in the place where we are coming from.
It felt everything was made to get as much as possible from the clients and it didn't make us feel like home.
