This apartment is in an INCREDIBLE part of town, right next to a delicious restaurant/bakery. It’s very modern-looking, and has a doorman to let you in and out from mid-morning to about 8 pm.
There are a few issues I had with this place and while I went back and forth about it, I figured since I would have wanted to know, someone else might too.
First: There was one roll of toilet paper half used when we arrived. The first night, my traveling companion had stomach troubles and we quickly ran out. The next morning, I emailed Rodrigo to ask for more paper and he said he’d ask a friend to do it. The friend didn’t arrive until around 9/10....we had just gone and bought our own toilet paper, which I’ve never had to do with an air bnb before.
Second: His friend came to deliver the paper around 9 pm. My brother went out to a football game and had locked me in the apartment (there is only one set of keys and you need them to get in and out of the building early morning or late at night...two sets of keys would be amazing) so I couldn’t open the door for his friend. Then the friend just pushed the door up and off the track to open it....no key needed. That was incredibly disconcerting.
Three: Opening and closing the apartment door was also incredibly difficult and always involved at least a few minutes trying to figure out how to make it work this time. We sometimes ended up using the friend’s door method when we had been trying to unlock it for a long time. I was traveling with my brother so I felt a little more safe, but if I was on my own and knew someone could just lift up our door in its tracks and walk in....I’d find somewhere else to stay.
