This apartment is in a great location and within walking distance to restaurants, grocery stores and the metro. Fernando and Dani are responsive via the Airbnb website and helpful with information on the area and allowing early check in or late check out. However, the apartment is extremely small, much, much smaller than the photographs suggest, and if you suffer from respiratory issues and/or claustrophobia, you may find the lack of space overwhelming. There’s a severe electrical issue in the apartment, and the electricity tripped multiple times throughout our stay. There is also no kettle, toaster or microwave, which makes cooking for yourself quite challenging. The biggest problem is the severe humidity in the apartment, and the walls and paintwork have suffered as a result. The moisture, combined with the lack of ventilation and space resulted in severe asthma attacks for two of my guests and as a result they had to move out and stay elsewhere. Fernando and Dani have modernized the space but there’s a lack of attention to detail, such as broken wall tiles, combined with a sense that the electricity is unstable and unsafe. The beds were unfortunately very uncomfortable and the pillows are truly dreadful. Being in a busy area, the intercom at the front gate gets rung all night by people walking past, which disturbs your sleep.
If you don’t mind a truly tiny place, and feel comfortable with the electrical instability and moisture in the walls, then perhaps this is a great apartment for you. Otherwise, I’d avoid it until the hosts rectify some of the issues.
