Ectriz as a host is terrific. Her responses were speedy and kind and she was very thorough, making sure we had everything we needed for our stay. She graciously allowed us a late check in which was a huge help as we had a late flight out of the city.
What I would say is that there are some items about this listing aside from its lovely host that would give me pause to recommend it to future guests.
The location is great neighborhood-wise as previous reviewers stated. But, it's RIGHT on a highway and the noise is thunderously loud. Neither my husband or I are sensitive to sound, but we had to go out and buy earplugs (on top of using a white noise machine) to be able to sleep. If you're at all sensitive to noise, this is not the place for you.
Another tough truth is the light / heat. The bedroom has a phenomenal blackout shade and if you close the bedroom door, it's nice and dark. But, the air ventilation to the bedroom doesn't work if the door is closed. Which means you need to keep the bedroom door open in order to not overheat. This means that to stay cool you have to contend with the lights from the street, and the heightened highway noise with the door open. We tried opening the door in the bedroom out onto the terrace, but just couldn't handle how loud the traffic noise was.
The neighbor is a smoker. While the apartment is clean and smoke free, the hallway as you head into the apartment reeked of cigarette smoke the entire time we were there.
Lastly, the roof that is included in the pictures was locked during our entire stay which was a bummer as it was part of the reason we booked this listing.
Again, Ectriz was a wonderful host, but there are some things that make this apartment a bit less comfortable than we would have hoped.
