The pro's related to this apartment include: it was in a perfect location and there was no need to rely on public transport to get around and visit various barrio's and museums. The view from each window was wonderful and showed Forestal park and San Cristabel hill. The apartment has doubled glazed windows in both bedrooms and noise from the street was minimal when sleeping. The owner is very prompt in replying to any email and making an effort to solve any issue that arises. The two doorman were absolute "treasures" and were so friendly and kind. It was a very secure building and made us feel safe at all times. The building itself was quiet and we did not have any issues with banging doors or noise from the apartment above.
The con's related to this apartment include: it needed to be cleaner in terms of the owner's fridge, kitchen and bathroom items. They should be kept together in isolated areas of each of the room areas. The apartment had a weird odour for the first couple of days until I cleaned out the fridge, kitchen and bathroom. The dryer was very old and was ineffective in terms of drying clothes. It also had an odour.
In winter the apartment was cold in the living room (although the owner did give us a small heater to use). A large wall heater would solve the problem I am sure.
The owner (Alvaro) can remedy these problems very easily and I am sure he will as he comes across as a host who wants guests to have a positive experience staying at his apartment.
