I want to start off by saying the location is fantastic, very central with everything within walking distance and that check-in with Manel with smooth and easy.
I absolutely hate having to write such a review because Silva and Manel seem like lovely people but I do feel future guests should be able to make an informed decision before staying at this property and unfortunately, this property did not exceed our expectations and we most certainly would not stay here again for the price that is being charged.
Apartment building in general is fairly loud which didn’t bother us but if you are looking for peace and quiet, this is not the Airbnb for you. We were told to be respectful of our surroundings and not to be loud after 10 pm which we abided by, I cannot say the same for the other people living in this building. You can also hear every single noise from the main street, including the bin men who come early hours of the morning.
In terms of space, the apartment is a nice place for a group or family. You have a TV, somewhat decent Wifi and weak AC. However, the apartment is filthy - which was shocking as I had read many reviews from previous guests and not one had mentioned the absolute griminess of this place. Not only did we find dirty towels in the washing machine upon arrival but also dried up food on the cutlery and lipstick stains on the glasses (all of which we have photographic evidence of). But the worst part about our stay was the cockroach who appeared from the main bedroom on the first night. Manel was kind enough to come over and spray the cockroach but after seeing that, our stay was tainted and everyone was uncomfortable.
Shower is small, if you are over 5'6 then good luck. The shower head will swing to the left and if you are not careful, will soak the bathroom floor. Water pressure is good but be prepared for the hot water to stop working after 3 guests shower and not resume until the next day.
It's also worth noting that none of the 3 bedrooms have windows, therefore you will get no natural light and the lights merely provide a weak glow.
