This apartment has some really interesting design features, nice tile work, great lighting and a brick wall in the living room that appears to be original. The apartment was comfortable and enjoyable to be in. It was well equipped with most that’s needed easily found in the closets and drawers. The only thing I needed to purchase was a new clean sponge to wash the dishes which was very cheap. Some packaged croissants, ham and muffins as well as a container of orange juice and a bottle of wine were left for me and were an appreciated convenience. There was an impressive coffee maker, and a large supply of capsules were included. Bed was comfortable. Heating worked well, although I didn’t need to use it much. Internet worked very well, but it worked best at the kitchen table close to where the router was. Less so in the bedroom. Shower and bath setup was quite different but impressive in many ways including abundant hot water and a wonderful rainfall shower head. As I was staying alone, it was not an issue for me, but others should be aware that there is no privacy in the shower/bath area as it has no door or curtain. Some may be fine with that. Others not so much.
There was no actual meet and greet, but the key is easy to access. I liked letting myself in and getting organized rather than have someone tour me around explaining every appliance after a long tiring trip. Things were easy enough to figure out. Raquel represented this apartment very nicely with a lot of enthusiasm and friendliness. She responded promptly to any concerns (which turned out to be insignificant) and was always available to contact. I have no doubt she would have been over right away if anything was needed, but all went well.
