The location of the apartment is great, and Alfonso is super responsive and helpful with any issues. Unfortunately the apartment itself is desperately in need of a renovation, and falling apart. I stayed here for a whole month.
During my stay, the bathroom sink was leaking for over a week (ruined many of my belongings in the bathroom). As soon as I told Afonso, he did send a plumber to fix the issue. The plumber came but worked on the wrong bathroom entirely, and then had to come back a second time to fix the actual issue. About two weeks later, the plumber needed to be contacted again for a shower issue. In addition to this, the bathroom itself perpetually remained damp, and the towels never dried.
Some light switches don't work, and lights don't work either. Light switch and outlet covers were falling off the walls. Some outlets also did not work. There is painting peeling and coming off the walls. The remotes for the TV did not work. You can easily tell the furniture, towels, and sheets are all very old, and have stains. The pillows and mattress are incredibly flimsy and I woke up with back issues some days, and it was very hard to fall asleep. The seating is also barely functional, as you sink in when you sit on any chair in the apartment. The kitchen stove did not always work. The dryer needed to be run 5-6 times actually dry any clothes after a wash. The apartment itself can get stuffy, and I was hesitant to open the windows because mosquitoes would come in.
I did reach out to both Alfonoso and Airbnb to see if we can come to any resolution regarding my stay as it was for a month, and am currently awaiting to hear back.
