It is well located, it is huge, it is convenient and it is cheap.
But it is not at all as shown on pictures (which are greatly staged btw). In reality, it looks more like a boarding school or something, very impersonal, with a dorm room vibe barely improved by a few frames above the beds. It is unfortunately not looking as fancy and decorated as advertised and we felt this was a bit dishonest.
Also you can’t open the windows. Any. At all. Or a tiny tiny bit. Actually, you can open the ones on the street, thank God, but in the bathroom, the restroom, most bedrooms, the living room, you can’t open the window. In the kitchen, we managed to and… there was a glass panel behind the window. We felt a bit claustrophobic and trapped.
But we get it, it’s for the noise. Because this place has many huge and cheap apartments, it is perfect for groups and groups make noise. They really do: we were awaken at 4am on Saturday night because a drunk person was talking very loudly from the sidewalk to another person standing by its window in the apartment upstairs. It lasted an hour and then we could hear the whole group walking around and joining the « conversation », window to street. I really wondered why the security guy who is supposed to stay in the lobby at night was during this painful episode.
But anyway, we had a nice stay overall: the beds are ok, it’s huge and clean, it’s well located, it’s not expensive at all, the communication was very fluid, Alex was adorable enough to keep our luggages for a few hours after check out, etc. We just think it needs either some better decoration and a few fixes (one of the shower was pretty broken) or a more honest description with updated and non staged pictures.
¡Gracias!
