This apartment could be a really nice place to stay. We liked the openness and space, we felt very comfortable working and relaxing there. The view is beautiful and the neighborhood is really cool too. Catarina was exremely flexible with the check-in and very responsive.
But what has to be solved and what you can also read in other reviews is, that there is a problem with the downstairs toilet. It smells very heavy like faeces, the same like a mobile toilet smells after quite some time. We kept the door always closed and did not use it but the smell creeped into the kitchen and living room nevertheless. You can imagine it's not the nicest smell lingering around while having dinner or waking up to. We were lucky it was warm and we left the windows always wide open so it airs out. Sometimes even the whole staircase from the groundfloor up smells like that.
Before I brought up the issue and asked for help, communication with the host was super good. After that, my request for help with the smell and toilet was just ignored. I brought up the issue and asked for help on Tuesday, then on Wednesday again (got a one line response that they are waiting on a response from the technician) and nothing happened until we checked out on Friday. Also after writing an email after check out I got no response until now. I am not even sure if there was an actual technician on the issue. It would just be super good to update your guests and make them feel like you are on it. Unfortunately the smell was already there according to a review from November 2021. I would only recommend this place for a short stay. We stayed for a week and the issue started to become apparent only after 3 days. It's a pity because other than that it's a beautiful place.
