This apartment is pretty but not super practical. If you need a place to just sleep while you're planning to tour the city all day, this place would be fine! The location is good, I felt very safe (the door men were great), and as I mentioned, it is pretty! However, if you're planning to work remotely, I don't think this is the best choice. The description of the apartment said there was a dedicated workspace. I'm guessing what this meant was the wooden table with log seats. This table was pretty to look at, but sitting on a literal log for 8 hours a day to work is just not feasible. The wifi was also somewhat unreliable for video conferencing (which may not be anything that Ricardo can fix but people considering working remotely should know this), and I found the temperature of the shower to be hard to maintain as well (I took a few showers where the water kept switching from burning to freezing).
One thing I found very disappointing is that the bed is listed as a queen in the description, and it is definitely just a full-sized bed. My boyfriend and I always eliminate Airbnbs that have beds smaller than queen-sized (this is an absolute priority for us), so we would not have made this reservation if we had known the bed was only full-sized.
One of the pipes in the apartment burst one morning and the kitchen started flooding. To Ricardo's credit, he responded within about half an hour and acted quickly to resolve the situation. It was disruptive to our work day, but I don't think there was anything more he could have done. That being said, during the process he mentioned to my boyfriend that he might give us a discount to make up for the inconvenience and disruption, but this did not materialize. Mentioning this and then not following up is a bit unprofessional.
Again, bottom line is that I would recommend this place if you're just in the city as a tourist and don't mind sleeping in a smaller bed than what the descriptions lists, but I don't think this apartment is the best choice for remote work.
