The airbnb is beautiful! However, a few things: 1) the elevator does not work. It's unclear whether they just put in the elevator, but there is no way to actually get into the elevator because the rails completely block it's entry. Be ready to climb up about 4 floors with all of your luggage. Total bummer. 2) Javier is not really responsive. We wanted to check in early (which we did), but it took me following up with him to get the approval. We also were having issues with the WIFI and I requested to see if he can fix it, and I never received a response from him. 3) Not enough toilet paper! 4) While the area is really central, it's also kind of sketchy. One night, my parents overheard from the neighbors in the building that someone broke into the building WHILE WE WERE THERE! Not sure if the police were called but many of the neighbors were really upset. Also, there were many times that guys on the street corner (in front of the pizza place) tried selling us drugs - super sketchy! 5) The building is old! The stairs to walk up are old. My dad actually ended up slipping on one of the steps (I also slipped a few times), and bumped his head on the wall. Make sure you hold on the rail when walking down and up!
It's a beautiful space, and super big! The pictures are super accurate, however all of the items listed above damped the experience a bit.
