I had high hopes for what looked like a beautiful condo, with positive reviews and everything I needed to work remotely for two weeks. Unfortunately, I left within just 3 days, only receiving a 200 USD refund and taking a 500 USD loss.
The good:
The bed was super comfortable, and the overall aesthetic of the apartment is nice. Looks like a bachelor pad.
The bad:
- In the photos, there’s an office chair and what looks like a desk. Don’t let them fool you, this is NOT a desk, it’s a tiny shelf. And the apartment doesn’t have an office chair at all, only an uncomfortable picnic chair
- The wifi is unreliable. You won’t get signal from the bedroom. From the living room, it will cut out at random points. It stopped working for 7 hours in the middle of my workday. Julio said that it could be shut off for multiple days, and there’s not much they can do about it.
- The hot water takes 30min to heat up
- The hosts will act hospitable at first, but they will be unhelpful after you move in. They couldn’t even point me to somewhere to do laundry. It’s clear they only care about money, and not about being good hosts.
- The big sliding door doesn’t close. It drags on the ground and you can barely move it.
- Multiple plates in the kitchen cabinet had food still stuck to them, which was a little gross
- I thought the unit had a laundry machine because there is one present in photos, but it’s completely nonfunctional
I don’t recommend this place for long term stays, but for a short stay where reliable wifi isn’t important, it could be alright since it’s cheap. I would avoid it anyway as there are lots of nice, cheap apartments in the Zona Rosa area - just look elsewhere.
