No doubt, the pictures are much darker and grittier than the place in actuality. It's a kitschy, artsy place in a fabulous location. Gomaga was very responsive over Whatsapp despite being in Cancun. She got a heater for the place when the temps started to drop.
There were some minor things that could be improved upon, but I think this place has the potential to be really nice. It can be loud at night, especially if you're planning on using both bedrooms. The one on the interior is quiet enough but the exterior is not and the bar next door rages late Thurs-Sun. It might not be the spot for you if you're looking for long-term and like to cook a lot, but for a couple of weeks, it was a fine place to stay.
Make sure you ask for more towels because the shower sprays everywhere, and bring your own shampoo, conditioner, toilet paper, etc! The people who live in the building full-time are wonderful. I frequented the taco truck outside the apartment.
