This apartment was great! A short list of thoughts from my April 2022 stay:
PROS-
The host: Manuel was great! Met us at the Airbnb for check in and explained everything about the apartment. Even provided a list of restaurants to try, and always answered messages very quickly.
Location: can’t be beat! Didn’t realize we’d booked so close to so many big attractions which was super convenient. There’s also a metro stop less than a 2min walk away (although if you’re using this mode of transport to/from the airport the station does not have an elevator fyi). Also plenty of restaurants, bars, and coffee shops nearby.
Shower: water was hot and pressure was excellent! Consistent through the stay.
WiFi: fairly strong for remote working and Zoom calls. 87.2 mbps download, 6.9 mbps upload
CONS-
Shower: a bit awkward if you’re traveling with a friend but the shower door is clear. Just give each other a heads up to not walk to the kitchen during showers haha
Construction:
The apartment next door is being totally renovated, which we didn’t know before booking. It got VERY loud some days. The workers seemed to keep a 9-6 or 7 schedule, Mon-Fri, and they are super punctual in the morning so if you’re trying to sleep in bring some good headphones or earplugs. You’ll also need them if you plan to be in the apartment in the middle of the day. Doing remote work on a US eastern time zone was not too bad; siteseeing in the AM, work out of a coffee shop for a few hours in the afternoon (3-6pm or so), and then back to the apartment to finish the workday and the pounding had usually stopped by then. This is the ONLY reason I didn’t give 5 stars.
Would happily stay at Manuel’s place again!
