We unfortunately ran into several issues during our stay at Pedro’s and had to leave early.
1.	The electricity to the unit requires a key card to be in a slot at all times. This means air conditioning and refrigeration are lost when you leave for the day. The listing says “key card for the lights” which we felt was not completely accurate.
2. We noticed in the hallway leading to the bathroom and in the bathroom itself a smell of raw sewage. The bathroom and hallway appear very clean and so did the rest of the unit. However, the smell was definitely present and persistent. The water appeared clean and didn’t smell bad. Pedro denied any such smell and became very short with us regarding it. Upon further inspection of other reviews we found another reviewer mentioning the smell also
3. Air conditioning units are programmed with motion sensing. We woke up sweating the night we stayed and could not get them to stay on. He said he would “come take a look at them” then later admitted they are programmed this way intentionally.
4. The front door to the building had a broken lock such that any person could enter the building. The unit has a good lock without issues however and the neighborhood felt safe enough. He told us this was not his problem.
5. There is at least one unit in the building undergoing complete renovation. There was a constant banging sound all day long which was excessive.
Otherwise the listing is fair. The unit is again very clean and the views are really nice of the city. There is plenty of space in the unit. But the issues we encountered made it very uncomfortable so we left before check out time the following day and returned the key notifying Pedro. He denied any amount of refund and stopped responding completely to messages. Air BNB would not take any action whatsoever without photographic evidence of the issues even though the biggest issues for us could not be photographed. We booked 3 nights and only stayed 1 and were not reimbursed for any portion of the remaining nights.
We definitely now appreciate the value of staying in an established hotel with staff who are present regularly throughout the day and actually care about customer service. There are many good reviews for this listing and it’s possible we were just unlucky, but the communication regarding issues was poor and it was clear that he was trying to have a very small electricity bill at the cost of our comfort. Also very unfortunate AirBNB calls him a “super host”. Upon asking them what this means we got no response
