This apartment has great potential but may not be worth the price--stay elsewhere but in the area (Zona Rosa) as the location is perfect. The apartment needs maintenance and some TLC. The little details are unfortunately ignored at this place and that makes a difference when you see the great potential the unit has to offer.
The bathroom (VERY SMALL) is too dark and one small light--it was almost impossible to use the mirror to do your hair or make-up etc because it was so dark (the bathroom is already black from floor to ceiling) so better lighting is needed. I noticed wires for lighting coming out of the wall from above the mirror so I imagine there was or should be lightening there--the exposed wires are an example of small details being overlooked. The bathroom vent-fan was coming out of the wall and was not properly secured and you could see right through to the outside of the apartment/building because of the holes around the fan. I did spot one large bug in the bathroom as well. The towels are HORRIFIC! I have never used towels so hard and sandpaper like in my life! THEY MUST GET RID OF THOSE HARD UNUSABLE TERRIBLE TOWELS AND ASAP! BRING YOUR OWN TOWELS!!!
The bedroom was fine but the bedframe is bigger than the mattress so the mattress moves around. The kitchen was well equipped and this together with the nice decor of the furniture may be the only other selling point beyond the location. The lvingroom area was nice and very nicely decorated and the sofa was comfy. The french balcony was nice (esp as the A unit is on the 5th floor) but the rail was coming out of the wall and this really scared us. We didn't want to lean on it or really touch it because you could literally see it separating from the wall!
The elevator sometimes had issues getting to our floor and opening the door so we would get off on the 4th floor and walk up.
The Building itself is quite and you wont hear neighbors but LORD HELP YOU IF YOU ARE A LIGHT SLEEPER AND BOOK WEEKEND DATES! THEY DO NOT EXAGGERATE ABOUT THE NOISE! YOU WILL HEAR THE CLUBS AND THE BOOMING MUSIC AND DJS, PERIOD! shut the windows and it helps a bit but then you are so hot because there is no AC!
The doorman/receptionist was a little to friendly and invasive. There is a fine line between attentive and intrusive and we felt like he was trying to get into our unit as he kept asking for reasons to enter, we always declined because we read a review where someone claimed to be robbed and suspected the building staff. He offered to take our bags up with us to open the door--and on several other occasions wanted to know if we needed anything such as a cleaning lady to come in and clean--THIS SOUNDS NICE BUT THIS ISN'T A HOTEL--it is an apartment! And we were only there for 3 days so it was really odd to us that that was offered. Every-time we left or entered he was in our business so it was uncomfortable.
The location is outstanding you want to be there! I give this place a C+ because of the location .
