A few words, how does one describe perfection in a few words? The apartment far, far exceeded what I expected. The photos do not do justice to the apartment. The furniture was so comfortable, the quality of every detail was sheer perfection. If I could move in tomorrow, I would in a heartbeat. I have used AirBnB and its competitors for over 10 years (often!), and this was by far, my favorite place. Every single detail was done to perfection.
The host, Cristobal, went so far above what I expected, I just do not have enough words of thanks to him. I do not know what makes the status "super host" but he certainly went beyond what any super host has done in the past. For example, he spent almost an hour on the phone helping arrange a bus ticket. He checked on me enough to be solicitous but not ever intrusive. When the internet had a glitch, he had an immediate workaround to use while we waited for the repair person. If I had any question he had an immediate answer. Cristobal was the best part of my 9-day stay.
The location is deceptive as it is on a very busy street, but once you go past the gate, it is so quiet. I never heard a single noise at night and I am a very light sleeper. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud. The bedroom has blackout curtains.
A beautiful patio with plenty of furniture to sit on in the sun is surrounded by plants, PLUS the (my) apartment had its own gated patio with furniture and flowers. The apartment reminded me of San Francisco in the early 1970s in a really nice way. The furniture is all top quality, the decorating looks professional almost, and every piece was comfortable. In a time when so many people who run apartments to rent buy low quality and seemingly use cast-offs, here was the opposite. The kitchen has new everything and I cook a lot so that is important.
I am looking forward to a return visit soon. I was very sad to leave. It as magical.
