This apartment has a lot of potential to be excellent but it did fell through in some of the basics. Note that the photos are dated, the facilities look a bit more worn down currently.
The positives: great location, lots of restaurants and shops near, each person got its own room, wifi was pretty stellar and Stephano was very communicative.
The negatives:
The apartment was not clean (especially not professionally), my friends and I are usually not picky but it really needed it. When we got there the bathrooms were the worst part, there was hairs in the showers, the sinks had toothpaste residue, bathroom fixtures had accumulated dust and the toilets had poop stains and were not clean. To top it all of, one of the shower curtains had mold. I did contact Stephano about the bathrooms, he was very responsive and came to the apartment but the only thing that changed after was the shower curtain (which we were really grateful for) and some gel capsules in the toilet. Moving forward, we just used the showers with flip flops since we were not confident about the cleaning and we tried to clean the bathrooms with detergents we bought on our own. (We didn’t touch the massive hairs in the shower though cause you never know)
We noticed a pattern that the rest of the house was “cleaned” superficially and we took it upon ourselves to clean things. When we cleaned the kitchen we found that the counters had residue and dust, kitchen utensils had old food stuck to them and the pans had old food residue. Additionally, the entire apartment had dust everywhere and when walking with our socks they turned dark at the bottom. Also, some of the sheets had old stains, roaches appeared multiple times, the door lock has a lot of holes around it (which is a bit sketchy) and the plants need watering (we tried to give them as much water while we were in the apartment).
As mentioned before, the place has a lot of potential if cleaning is taken seriously. Overall, we had a great time because we were out in the city most of the time but we wouldn’t stay in this Airbnb due to the lack of care and cleaning.
