The hosts were very communicative, and have obviously put effort into making this a welcoming space. I appreciated the design touches of this unique unit, found it clean, and liked the helpful (Spanish speaking) 24 hour security guards at the entrance.
However there are flaws with the location that made this an uncomfortable stay. The glass skylight is a cool feature, but the whole place is poorly insulated - which means there is traffic noise coming into the unit throughout the night. It’s a little hard to describe how overwhelming it is - but as an example - I am not exaggerating when I say the sound of passing trucks shook the bed at times! Fans in the bedrooms provided some white noise, but I’d definitely recommend ear plugs.
We also discovered there is the chance of parties on the adjacent roof until 2am on weekends, and this is out of the control of the host. The noise forced us to leave a night early and scramble to find a hotel. I appreciate that the host refunded that night to us, but I do think listing 11pm as a quiet hour in the rules is misleading.
The unit is about 10-15 minutes walk from the main area of bars and restaurants in Roma (Norte), so not quite in the center of the action.
It was definitely a mixed experience - responsive hosts making an effort, but inherent problems with the location that we couldn’t overcome.
