I really want to like this place more. It’s really central, Penelope is a friendly host and the building is really something.
But the apartment wasn’t all that and a bag of chips.
The shower has either VERY little water pressure, or just no water at all. Which comes as quite a shock when you’re trying to shower after a run, seeing as you’ll be getting on a flight soon and you’ve JUST lathered up. I completely understand that water might be limited or whatever, but a fair warning would’ve been appreciated. Even if they just said “the shower sucks, hope you don’t mind.”
Next up the bed and bedding. The mattress is a few layers of foam stacked atop one another and the duvet is nothing more than a decorative cover. There was an extra blanket in the cupboard, it helped even if it was a little gross.
Again, this place could be amazing if they’d just pay a little more attention to it and gave it some TLC. Now, it’s just a room in Condessa.
Which I guess is fine if that’s what you’re after.
