Most of my disappointments are mainly with the location and the old building. However, Alex and May are wonderful wonderful hosts. Their communication is great. The building is very safe. The decor is very tasteful. I like their photos throughout the place. It makes me feel more at home somehow. The amenities are great as well. They gave me many recommendations around the city.
The apartment is as described but the building is very old. I don’t think it smells ok overall. The apartment is actually really dark which is a total bummer. There is a massive tree outside and while it’s beautiful, it blocks most of the sunlight.
The kitchen is very outdated. At first, it seemed kind of charming until I started to use it. The cabinets are run down.
The location wasn’t ideal for me because it’s very loud since there are restaurants below. My least favorite thing is just outside the bedroom window. It’s an area where many Uber Eats and Rappi drivers pick up food. Sometimes, they’ll hang out there and talk or play music for hours.
It’s a very loud location and not great if you want to work remotely and you have many meetings like I do. Additionally, there any many vendors advertising their stuff with loud speakers and yells.
