I wish the owner would have been more willing to listen to the recent reviews, because we had the same exact experience as those who have recently stayed. This Gothic district apartment is beautifully decorated, clean, and safe. The location is phenomenal. JuanCa was a spectacular host and allowed us to check in early, gave great recommendations, and showed us around.
However, we would not stay here again. The apartment building has an atrium and the noise was insanely loud. Other people living in the building were laughing, babies were crying, talking… and you could hear everything. It was all night and morning long. The windows were not soundproof either. They dimmed the noise a tiny bit, but it was not helpful enough. I highly suggest bringing a sound machine or ear plugs. My family barely slept our four nights there, and my parents had it the worst because their room is the one facing the atrium (which also has no A/C so they were hot too). Trust me, all the door and windows were closed and locked… and the noise was LOUD. The walls are paper thin and you hear anything and everything. It’s very hard traveling with major time differences and then not ever getting a good night’s rest. It’s a shame because the apartment itself is such a cute place.
One other thing to note is how the double-twin bedroom with the shower and sink only had one twin comforter, so my husband and I had to make due. We turned it sideways and our feet hung out.
If you like sleep, this is not the place for you.
