THE GOOD: Pictures are accurate - the space is very beautiful. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms offer couples or individuals traveling together an element of privacy. Comfortable bedrooms, INCREDIBLE shower pressure, a kitchen with mostly everything you would need, and we were greeted with yummy chocolates. The air conditioning makes the place nice and cold. The apartment is just a few blocks from some great food and bars. We were able to store our bags at their offices after check out time when we still had time to kill before our train.
THE BAD: Just a little far of a walk to major attractions. The showers have no doors, so everything in the bathroom gets soaked. Communication was not great - there was a bit of a language barrier, so when I would ask questions, I would get incomplete answers, or answers that did not make sense with what I was asking, and if I attempted to clarify, I would literally just get the same response over and over again until I gave up. If you’re checking in early or late, the process is totally inconvenient, as you have to visit their offices which are at a separate location.
THE UGLY: They attempted to charge us an additional $200 security deposit upon check in, which violates Airbnb’s terms regarding security deposits, and is fundamentally dishonest. Obviously, we refused, and that basically settled the matter, but left us feeling like we were being swindled.
