This apartment is just as pictured…. Except bigger! It’s very large and spacious. The light in the main area is lovely. The view from the two balconies… wow! Perfect for my morning coffee, which was even supplied by the host! The location is great, in the heart of a local neighborhood with nightlife, restaurants, shops, and markets all around. when I arrived, I was concerned bcs the construction outside was SO extremely loud… and I couldn’t hear any of it inside the apartment. Another plus, the A/C was very strong and kept the apartment nice and cool, as us Americans prefer in these hot summer days. The communication with the host was EXCELLENT. They even have a manual in the kitchen for you with suggestions on breakfast, lunch, tapas, and dinner ristorante, markets, transportation, and how to use the appliances. It was the most personalized and informative touch I have had in an Airbnb experience. I stayed in a 5 star hotel prior to checking in to this Airbnb, and had a better, more thoughtful experience here.
My only “cons” I had, which were very mild: The noise level from the neighbors in the building is a bit high, some banging from the people above, and people being loud in the stairwell. So I probably wouldn’t stay if you have a child who goes to bed early or needs naps. But otherwise it is fine as the noise is done by 11/1130pm. And the other, the wifi is very spotty in the bedroom, I think the router just doesn’t reach the room, but not a big deal unless you have to do work in bed I guess. I reached out about the wifi to the host and they responded very quickly, so I’m sure before the next guest they will have this fixed.
