Last week we stayed in Xavier's Airbnb. We arrived a little before the check-in time but were welcomed in despite being early. We were welcomed by Mariano, so we didn't meet Xavier at all but that was fine. We got a quick tour of the house and then were left to settle in.
The appartement contains 3 bedrooms, a small bathroom and a living kitchen. I would like to address some pro's and cons we have.
To start off the communication with Xavier and others was very smooth. A day before our arrival we made a whatsapp groupchat with all the people involved. During our stay we could ask anything. The day before our arrival the heater in the living room broke but they gave as an adequate replacement and had it fixed during the week.
The location of the apartment was very nice in our opinion. Everything we did was either at walking distance or easily reachable by public transportation that is right in front of the door.
The beds had good mattrasses. Sadly the apartment is very noisy. In the small bedroom the noise hindrance was very bad. You get woken up easily from people leaving for work in the early morning. Also the curtains do not block out the light coming from outside. We decided to put trash bags over the windows to make the room dark.
Regarding the bathroom, it is very small. It has all the necessities, even some shampoo or bodywash, but everything is quite cramped in there. The shower head is nice but the hot water runs out in about 8 minutes (I timed it). This isn't ideal if you're 3 people that want to shower in the morning.. It also takes a long time for the water to heat up again. Also there is quite some mold in the edges of the shower tray.
There is a hairdryer in the apartment but don't use it, the power went out directly after turning it on!
To end on a positive note the kitchen and living space was great! The kitchen was stocked with spices, oil, coffee etc. And had all the appliances you would need.
The living room has a big couch, we could all fit on it with room to spare. Also it had a nice big TV.
To conclude, we had a great time aside from the noise in the bedroom(s)!
