Alejandra was an incredibly accommodating and flexible host. She was very responsive and even offered a partial refund for the first part of our trip when we had to delay because I came down with Covid.
However, that is where my shining review ends. Folks should be aware that this apartment is directly adjacent to a major highway. Not only is it incredibly noisy, the emissions and exhaust from trucks and cars gets into the unit if you open any windows or doors. Because you cannot open windows or doors the unit gets very stuffy and warm and there is no air conditioning. Those with respiratory problems should not rent this place.
When we walked in, the unit was visibly worn down. There were scruffs on the walls and everything just had a layer of grime on it. Baseboards were dirty, furniture was grimy, and the rug looked like it had never been shampooed. Although there was no dust on the floor, my socks were flighty after walking around the apartment.
The description says something about and eco boiler that heats the water so you should take short showers. I am a very conservation minded person so I turn the water off while I lather up. Still, the water was freezing in just a few mins. I’d say about 2-3. If you’re traveling with your partner this is not the Airbnb for you because you’d need to wait a long time before they could shower after you.
My partner and I rented the Airbnb for 3 weeks and worked remotely for 2. The internet worked great and was reliable.
The unit was not comfortable at all so don’t choose this place if you want a respite from the hustle bustle of the city. The couch was very worn and felt like you were sitting directly on the springs and the bed had very hard pillows. We actually went to Sears and purchased new ones they were so bad. No extra towels were in the unit when we arrived. We did request those and they were brought to us but guests staying 3 weeks should not have to ask for extra towels.
