The location of the apartment was great! It is close to the river and many restaurants. It does get pretty loud though because sometimes people stand in front of the door and talk and it sounds like the walls aren’t even there. Marta’s communication was great, she was accessible and kind in our interactions. However, we had been trying to communicate with Ricardo (who works for Marta and does the check-ins and cleaning) all day about check in, and sometimes he responded and sometimes he did not. However, he was not present at check in (like he said he would be) and we probably would not have been able to get inside if I had not used my international calling to call Marta for help after 15 minutes of waiting and no communication from Ricardo. We don’t mind waiting a bit but the problem was that we had no idea if he was even coming or on his way or not.
We also had a slight mix up about rooms and we were asked to leave the room a night early when we had all our belongings still in the room but we were on a boat tour in the morning and could not return. I am glad that was resolved because it turned out, it was for Marta’s other property but it was a bit stressful for us. Overall, the apartment location was good, and Marta was kind to us. Some things could have been better but I appreciate her communication and kindness. Thank you for hosting us!
