Ricardo’s place was nice in the retrospect that it was very spacious and looked modern. However, the space was less than clean. There was dirt and dust in many of the corners of the room. When it came to arrival I attempted to discuss a somewhat later check-in than 2:00pm because we were eating lunch and I was unaware that we had a set appointment for check-in. As a large group of people it is hard to get any where quickly. But I contacted the host roughly 30 minutes prior to check-in to see if that was an option. He did not reply very quickly, but ended up saying that would would have to wait until 5:30 to check-in if we couldn’t make it on time. We were in a high traffic area of the city and a taxi would’ve taken at least 15 minutes so we would be late. And he said 5 minutes past check-in time was too long to wait for us so we had to return at 5:30. Not a huge deal just poor communication, and the host was not kind about it. When the host was showing us around he made it a point to show us the dryer that was present because a previous guest had complained about it. After we had washed some clothes we noticed why the other guest complained. Yes, there was a dryer, however there was not an electrical hookup near the dryer that would work without moving it, so it was useless. The shower in the master bed also had an issue with draining before we even used it. I didn’t contact the host though because previous communications were not very kind. When checkout came around we communicated that this time we for sure had a set time. I was ready for checkout 15 minutes early and waited until he was 10 minutes late to message letting him know we were in fact ready. He did not reply though he did arrive to where we left 20 minutes after our checkout appointment. Before leaving though, the host went through each and every room counting towels and check underneath beds and inside of closets to make sure we hadn’t broken or stolen anything. And then finished by asking twice is we had broken anything, which we had not. I feel that the apartment could be very nice if the host was more hospitable, but I didn’t feel like a guest. If the host fears items will get stolen or broken by large groups then I believe he should choose not to rent his place out to large groups.
