Overall I had a great stay at Jacobo’s place. I think if i list the pros/cons it might be visually a bit easier so I’ll just do that.
Pros: check in was easy, neighborhood/ complex is very cute & interesting, apartment gets good light, it’s decorated well, very unique set up.
Boiled down i believe that because of the set up of the apartment it can lack some functionality that did frustrate me a few times.
Cons: the staircase is fine for an able bodied solo traveler but is annoying the first time you’re entering and last time you’re exiting ( so when you are carrying luggage—do not bring any larger than carry on size.) Also, the staircase is kind of in the space of the lower apartment’s outdoor kitchen area which limits a bit of privacy if that’s important to you. The hot water wasn’t great...making showers more stressful than they should be when one is on vacation, there really isn’t a normal size trash can ( just a small one in the bathroom), and it is annoying having the bed and closet in the lofted space, especially since I avoided going up there except to sleep because I didn’t want to bang my head on the ceiling. Also there is no mirror other than the bathroom mirror above the sink ( full length mirror would be helpful and easy add.)
I’m happy I stayed at Jacobo’s but I do not know if I would book again because of the lack in functionality at times. Communication was easy and fast which is important. I think it would be difficult to even have two people sharing this space unless they aren’t spending much of the day inside the apartment. I guess it boils down to if the charm of the space, chic design, and enjoyable terrace are worth it to you.
