The building itself and Marina's unit were both clean and inviting. The experience finding the building, finding the unit, and the area around the building raised some concerns during our stay, however.
We arrived late in the evening and felt unsafe upon arrival, as there is a large homeless population living on the same block and prostitutes walking around the neighborhood.
Our Spanish is not very strong, so we were given English check-in instructions, but there were a lot of details missing, including how to get to the building and how to get to the unit. Once we were at the unit, we were fine, but getting there was an adventure.
The address given to us was two digits off from the address of the building that we entered. Our Uber driver asked someone on the street where our address was, and he instructed us to go into the building that was two digits off from the address we were given. It would have been helpful to know that we had to go through one building to get to ours ahead of time. We also didn't know that we had to go up one story to access a bridge to go across to the other building where our unit was. In communicating with the doorman, we understood that we had to go to the second tower, but he was also trying to tell us to go up to the second floor to access the bridge to get to the second tower, which we didn't understand with our language barrier. He ran after us to help us out, and we were fine after that, but the whole process was much more difficult than it needed to be.
We were looking forward to using the rooftop deck which is pictured in the posting, but found that it was closed at the times we wanted to use it. We aren't sure if the space was being rented by someone else or if the rooftop has certain hours each day that it is open. We were able to go up there once to see it and it was really nice. We just wish we were able to use it at the times we wanted to.
The other issue we had was noise from a nearby building. There was a loud rave going on until 4:30am on the Saturday evening that we were there. We were there during the Christmas/New Year's holiday, so we weren't sure if that was a regular Saturday occurrence or just a special event because of the upcoming holiday. The bass was so loud that it shook the floors of the unit and we couldn't sleep until it stopped, which is why we knew it went until 4:30am. With that said, some fans or white noise machines would have been helpful in order to help block out any noises, as the building is in a somewhat busy area with some street noise and it got a bit stuffy with the windows closed.
