this is a modern minimalist unit in a block that consists largely of studio flats several of which are available on airbnb; I have stayed in the same building before and had a good experience; Erick's place had several maintenance issues (some of which might be explained by a recent earthquake such as the feeble internets) but some of it are largely due to neglect of maintenance, the bathroom has a serious humidity issue, it's coming through the kitchen wall, all the cupboards smell humid, the fridge had the first fish odor I have ever experienced, the TV set was lacking a cable and would thus not connect, the balcony had a leak, one of the lights in the bathroom did not work (the one for the mirror); there is also considerably noise in the evenings at weekend due to a party room downstairs; all in all the building is nice but this particular unit I would not recommend and I regret not having booked another unit in the same building. Erick was friendly and responsive and did acknowledge the maintenance issues (though did little to address them); he even came by in person clearly busy with earthquake related things, but neither the humidity nor the light were caused by the earthquake, these issues at least should have been addressed before renting out the flat. I shall not stay there again.
