Bianca's place was perfectly situated in the central business district. Our favorite feature of this location is that it's actually on the penthouse floor of a local hotel, so we had the amenities and staff attention of a full-service hotel with the privacy and price of an Airbnb. This especially made us feel more comfortable since we were doing a girls' trip, and having doormen made us feel safer coming home in the evenings. The beds were comfortable and the linens were all in great, clean condition. And you absolutely can't beat that beautiful, beautiful balcony view. (Just be prepared for strong winds!)
We had a small issue where we were on long flights for the 24+ hours preceding our stay, so we didn't follow up with Bianca to make sure we received instructions for acquiring our key the night of arrival. It was 11 pm when I landed, so I tried reaching her on my way to the destination. As mentioned, the fact that I showed up to a hotel with multiple doormen made me feel a lot safer about arriving solo late that first night with no sure spot to stay - however, it would've been a lot less stressful if we'd gotten the instructions ahead of time. All's well that ends well, though - Bianca didn't respond to my phone calls but did message back with clear instructions within about 30 minutes, and I got in with no issues after that!
We also had a few small snafus with the spot. Bianca mentioned that a very recent previous guest had ruined the front door, so at the time that we stayed, the temporary door (which felt perfectly sturdy) would only stay closed if locked from either side. Furthermore, the air conditioning in the smaller bedroom didn't work properly for the first few days of our stay; the fan would run but it never ended up cooling the room. We were told that the a/c was repaired toward the end of our stay, but it never personally ended up working throughout our 8-day stay. We ended up leaving the bedroom door open and leaving the living room a/c on when we needed to sleep, but it felt a little bit wasteful.
Finally, the gas side of the stove didn't end up working while we were there, but we were able to use the electric burners.
Again, I imagine these issues may have been part of the overall damage from the previous Airbnb guest, and Bianca otherwise was a fantastic host. We really appreciate her attention and would happily recommend this spot to others, unless we're coming back, in which case we'd keep it for ourselves!
