The location and Bernardo’s hospitality is everything as advertised! Bernardo reached out when my booking was confirmed to see if I had any questions, he checked in with me in the days leading up to make sure we were aligned on a meeting time, and once we arrived he gave us a complete run down of the apt and was happy to help with suggestions as we were visiting during the Christmas holidays. He definitely seemed more than willing to help if we had any questions! The location is incredibly central—we didn’t spend more than $10 USD a ride or wait more than 2 minutes for an Uber anytime day or night. It’s also just across the street from a Marriott if you preferred to hail a taxi. With the centralized location, nightlife close by, and comedy club in basement of the building, there’s definitely a fair amount of outside noise. It didn’t bother us, but if people are talking outside on the street you could easily make out their whole conversation so if you’re a light sleeper it would be something to consider. As far as the place itself, it’s on the 2nd floor with elevator access. There’s a small kitchen with a refrigerator and microwave available. The bed is a full, comfort 3 out of 5 stars, and since the studio runs cold we used the extra blankets Bernardo showed us during our walkthrough. Regarding the bathroom, this was probably the most disappointing part of our stay. After trying to shower at all times of the day, the water does not stay warm longer than 5-7 minutes. I wasn’t expecting to take an hour long shower but for 2 people after a few days it was tough not being to feel like you could relax. We also unfortunately had issues with the toilet backing up even when we stopped putting toilet paper in the bowl. There was clearly a sign only tissue in the bowl, but even that seemed too much. Since we didn’t want to have to coordinate any maintenance we just dealt with it ourselves which kind of took a little of the joy out of our experience.
