I almost never write reviews for Airbnb...but I’m this case I think it is necessary.
I’ll start with the positives: Cesar was an amazing host. He helped arrange activities, was super responsive to request and was all around super helpful. The apartment was beautiful and the view was amazing.
The negatives...and I hesitate to write this because Cesar was amazing...but given the cost of the rental, there were a few things that were disappointing. First, the upstairs bedroom/bathroom was unusable due to the overwhelming smell of sewage. We had to shuffle beds and have someone sleep on the couch because the room was unusable. I get that smells happen, especially when traveling abroad....but this was overwhelming. Second, the heater in the hot tub was broken. You can fill the hot tub with hot water, but once that water cools off, you have to drain it and refill it with hot water.
Like i said, overall the property was beautiful...but these are fairly major issues especially for a “luxury penthouse” property that is marketed at a high end price.
