While this apartment does have a good deal of space and a lot of potential, the unit is really shabby and dilapidated and is in need of significant renewal & renovation to come anywhere close to the quality that is represented in the photos and description of this property.
First, we found most of the furniture to be in very poor condition.
- Living room couch & coffee table are in desperate need of replacement. The couch was very uncomfortable, and several of the cushions had the covers coming off.
- The TV in the living room is improperly mounted (it's angled up towards the ceiling)
- We found the beds are super comfortable, exacerbated by low-quality and very worn linens. For the 'master' bedroom, the two double beds were not joined together properly and separated constantly. And one of the side table's drawers completely fell apart when you tried to open it.
- The air conditioning works great in the main room but very poorly in the bedrooms.
- The bathrooms are older and didn't feel clean (for example, there were water marks all over the mirrors when we arrived, one of the counters had cracks in the stone and they were poorly repaired with a sticky substance), the shower in the larger bathroom leaked all over the bathroom everytime we showered because the glass door does not create a proper seal to the tub, and there weren't really any towel hooks/racks to hang towels.
And the apartment just felt very tattered. The main windows in the living room were dirty (need to be cleaned from the outside). The walls and door jambs throughout the apartment were marked and damaged. And the lighting throughout the apartment was very inconsistent and sometimes very harsh (cool white lighting in the bedrooms).
The kitchen was large and serviceable but again just looking very old and dismal. And two of the bedrooms (the ones with the double bed and single bed) are very dark as they face the interior courtyard.
All in all, we were not fans of this property and would not return.
That being said, we appreciated the early check-in and Guille was very nice to deal with, the building felt safe and we appreciated the elevator, it was nice to have a washer AND dryer, and the apartment is conveniently located to a few grocery stores.
