This apartment needs a deep cleaning and is in need of repairs. The walls, light switches, air conditioning remote, sofa and furnishings are dirty. There was a used dirty glass in the sink when we checked in. There is mildew in the shower and the shower curtain has a big hole in it.
The curtains and sofa pillows were filthy and worn out. They need to be replaced. The blinds in the bedroom were held together with staples. The sliding doors and windows were streaked with dirt. The kitchen utensils, pots and pans were very worn and need to be replaced.
The ceiling fan in the main bedroom is not properly installed, nor are the light fixtures in the second bedroom and kitchen. The lamp in the living room was broken when we arrived but a previous guest graciously left a copper bracelet on the table beside it.
You can hear the eight lanes of traffic and city noise continuously even though we were on the 18th floor.
The walls are paper thin. You can hear every word of the neighbors’ conversations and the other residents conversations from the hallway.
On the second day of our stay, there was no running water. Cecilia said there was a problem with a pump and it was resolved.
The Ecuador station is right outside the gate. However, the major tourist attractions are all at least 8 metro stations away from this location. Unless you need to go to the hospital across the street, there is no reason to stay here.
On the bright side, the air conditioning works well. The WiFi works and you can see the mountains behind the neighboring buildings.
We checked out early and would NOT recommend staying here.
