Here is a complete and honest review:
If you are used to staying in youth hostels, this is definitely an upgrade.
If you are used to staying in AirBnBs where everyone has some space and there are common areas to share, this leaves something lacking.
Set up:
- 3rd floor, very steep stairs, no elevator
- When you enter, there is the big bed. This means that you're sleeping right next to the outside hallway and hear noise.
- The bunk beds are in a hallway, not a room.
- The kitchen is new, but tiny - the door to the kitchen must be closed to open the refrigerator. Only 1 person fits in the kitchen at a time.
I stayed here with my husband and two kiddos. I'd be hard pressed to stay that more than 2 adults stay here comfortably - 3 could squeeze. However this would not be a comfortable place for those who are plus sized.
The listing has misrepresented some amenities: There is no dishwasher, dedicated workspace, beach nearby, espresso machine (there is a coffee machine).
Other notes:
- Fantastic location (as others have noted in their reviews.) Very close to lots of restaurants, bars, and sites, but not nearly as loud as the streets with the bars, etc.
- Beautiful view and afternoon light
- 3 AC wall units worked
- Tried to turn on both TVs and they did NOT work.
- Internet did not reach into the kitchen/back part of the apartment.
- Shutters did not block out morning light.
- There were little things that were off that are not huge, but seem like weird oversights - advertised for 4 people, but only 3 bowls provided; no dish drying rack so there was no where to put dishes after washing them.
- The bunk beds did not have top sheets when we arrived, but Ana was responsive and they were provided the next day.
- There are extra blankets, but they smell like perfume.
Overall, if I were in my early 20s and staying for 1-2 nights, then this is a great find.
As a family of 4 for more than 2 nights, this was not terrible, but was definitely a stretch.
