We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment is small but nice, and the bed is comfortable. Kitchen had basics to cook some meals. Bedroom Equipped with sliding mirrors over a 2-sided closet containing 5 or so hangers on each side, plus some drawers on one side, shelves on the other. Enjoyed Nice narrow balcony with small table and 2 chairs for a breathe of air and to people-watch. And a sweet little living plant, clinging to life on a shelf above the TV, hoping for a little water and sunshine…
Manuel was absolutely by far the best, most amazing and gracious host we have encountered!!!
He met us at the apartment, helped us with our heavy luggage, showed us how to use the washer/dryer which took him a bit of time, and promised to pay for our clothes to be dried at the lavendaria next door if he was unsuccessful!
Manuel showed us how to use telpark for street parking and paying every 2 hours. But he went above and beyond walking with us around the neighborhood to several garages and negotiated a great deal with monthly payment for our long term stay. When we needed a top sheet, clean comforter, and extra towels he got it the next day. When the towel hooks broke, he came the next day with replacements, same when we needed light bulbs, along with a gift of more coffee pods for us. It was just like having a personal concierge!
And the very best part is Manuel did everything with the warmest smile and genuine concern for us. We have stayed at many airbnbs but never ever have we experienced this type of excellent service!
The location is great for conveniently located mini markets, pharmacy, butcher with the best sausages, bakeries, restaurants and a bigger super market Contiente, which Manuel told us about since we never heard of the store. All within walking distance.
The only challenge with the location is the street noise day and night, which affected our rating for location. The street is between two tall apartment buildings so the road noise is trapped and amplified. It is loud even with the windows closed. In order to sleep we had to use ear plugs. So as another reviewer suggested, Pack your ear plugs.
Overall it’s a great place, and Manuel is the perfect host without question!!
