Ricardo was in touch with us before our arrival and had given good instructions to reach his apartment. He was also present at the apartment when we arrived and gave us a fairly good orientation of the apartment, the neighborhood and things to do during our stay. However, our disappointment was with the apartment itself. It was nowhere close to how it had looked in the pictures on Airbnb. The pictures were taken by a skilled photographer who had made to look the place far superior to its real self!! The apartment was very cramped with very low ceiling and hardly any fresh air or lighting. The listing on airbnb said that it could take 6 people, but it seemed too small for the 3 of us. The bathroom was very small with hardly any water pressure in the shower. The wash basin was the smallest I have ever seen in my life. The kitchen was uninspiring with not even basic things such as a toaster or an electric kettle there. The apartment had a washing machine but we were unable to use it as there was no dryer or drying space. There was a bit of a storage area where there were a couple of clothes lines but it was full of freshly done laundry that Ricardo promised to clear in a day but that didn't happen for the 4 days that we spent there. The furniture in the apartment was old and broken. The sofa converted into a bed (in the small living room/ passage) was all taped up to fix the cracks. The linen didn't feel fresh - the towels were frayed, faded and stained. The sheets may have been laundered but were crumpled and faded. The comforters had old and ill-fitted covers. The apartment was located in a commercial office complex that was probably too business-like for any tourist. There weren't any tourist sites or good restaurants within walking distance of the apartment. We have used airbnb apartments in multiple cities across the world in the past few years but the quality of this apartment and its amenities certainly took us aback. We have seen much much better apartments with even better amenities in the past.
