Pros:
-The apartment looks recently refurbished. It has new floors, a new bathroom, a new kitchen with a small fridge, a stove, a microwave, a washing machine, a kettle and a toaster. The furniture looks quite new too. There is cutlery and crockery.
-The bedroom mattress is comfortable.
-The view from the balcony is stunning.
-There is a clothes horse and an ironing board.
-I found it very clean.
-It's very well located, close to a big supermarket (Park Towers), facing Spinola Bay, close to bus stops, restaurants and bars, but not too close to all the bustle of Paceville (8 minutes on foot).
-The host always replies to messages sent via the Airbnb app.
Cons:
-It does not get direct sunlight except early in the morning, at least in February/March, as it faces Northeast.
-The windows are not well fixed and let in a draught, which, together with the fact stated in the previous point, makes it quite cold in winter. The airconditioning at 30º C has to be on for hours to keep it warm.
-There is a problem with the main door downstairs, which doesn't open from inside if a neighbour forgets to leave it unlocked when leaving the building. The host was noticed twice.
-It is quite dark except for the bedroom leading to the balcony. The rest of the apartment has windows leading to unattractive airways, with tubes, wires and cables, so the blinds are better off closed.
