Renato is a lovely guy and I thank him for waiting for me until 2am to check in as my flight was delayed. Lucky I spoke some Spanish because he does not speak any which makes it extremely hard to communicate.
The apartment is on a safe road, 7 min walk to the nearest tube and a couple of minutes to the shops.
Unfortunately, the towels and bedding were cheap with very uncomfortable pillows (if I can call them that) and mattress (the metal springs dig and cause pain).
All reviews mentioned the apartment being clean, although not dirty, there was a lot of hair on the sink, in the shower and on the floor! A lot of it. So I was always clearing it before using the sink and the shower, not pleasant at all.
Also, the lovely lady that also lives in the flat cooks very smelly food (smells like burnt meat) which to a vegan can cause some discomfort, without opening the windows. I was always opening the bathroom window and the one in my bedroom otherwise the whole place smelled like a kebab place.
Another thing to mention is that there is a strange noise coming from the heater which continued although I have been told it has been dealt with. And the window is on the main road, the traffic noise is so horrific I have slept with headphones and music on my last night.
I'm sorry to have to say this but I believe in leaving honest reviews and helping the hosts improve on their service.
Thank you!
