Ricardos Apartment is not a private room as described on airbnb. Its actually a hotel, you can also book via booking.com or other platforms. I don’t recommend booking through airbnb, since the price on here is higher than it is on other platforms, due to the service and cleaning fee.
The room is quite small, you must squeeze through to get to the second bed. The bathroom has no room to hold one’s toiletries and no window. The room has a fridge in it, which was not cleaned very well. Also it was pretty noisy, so we had to unplug it in the night. It gets quite hot in the room, there’s only one window and its sometimes a bit loud outside. The wardrobe is tilting in a very concerning way, apparently the floor is uneven. You can also hear when someone is walking down the hallway, which is quite literally next to the beds. The double bed squeaks immensely, you can’t really turn around without waking up the whole room. Also the bedsheets we were given were too small for the mattress so they slipped off as soon as one only sat on the bed. We weren’t given any blankets; only thin sheets and we got only one for the two of us in the double bed. There was a spare blanket in the closet, so I used that. It didn’t have any sheet on though, so I hope they washed it before and after I had to use it. The TV didn’t work.
In the week we stayed there the room and the bathroom were not cleaned. Communicating with Ricardo was a bit rough since he doesn’t speak English.
Apart from all these things we had a pleasant stay, but we learned that other guests in the “hotel” were not satisfied at all. There seems to be something sketchy going on with Ricardo. Another guest told us that he had to pay almost double the agreed amount due to Ricardo making something up about a hacker attack or something. A different guest and him were arguing very loudly about changing hotels or something. All his other listings on Airbnb are for the same accommodation. I’d recommend looking thoroughly through all his listings, also on other platforms, to really get an idea how the stay will turn out.
We won’t be staying there again.
