Celia was responsive in general. We had some issues about the cleanliness and she sent house keeper to clean again on my second day of stay. We appreciated the solution Celia offered but sadly we were still only okay with the cleanliness :(
We stayed for 5 nights and we expected to get a new washed set of bedsheet, but we found out that the bedsheets were only iron cleaned so we were quite disappointed. It was not washed on our first day, nor the second day when we told Celia about feeling itchy in the bed. The house keeper told us the sheets were only iron cleaned so maybe that’s why I got allergy and felt itchy, from the spray they used for the bedsheet. I brought a new pair of indoor slippers but only few hours after I walked around the Airbnb, they turned grey, so I would say the floor was not very clean. The rug and futon near the balcony were also dirty. We also found piles of sand under the rug.
Easy check in. Clear on the check in instruction. Convenient location, many good walking distance restaurants and cute stores nearby. A+ on convenience. However it could be a bit unsafe compared to other neighbourhoods. I experienced a stranger said weird things and followed me when I was going to buy water alone that I had to enter the pharmacy and waited for his leave. I would suggest to have male friends or don’t live at this area alone, and you will be fine. Many dog poopoo on the streets also, so be aware when walking around.
My boyfriend and I found it hard to sleep well because of the noise issue. People talked very loud and played fireworks til 4am (we understood it was new year eve) but basically all 5 nights people chatted loudly from day to night to morning. I think it should be fine for people who is used to live in city tho.
The bathroom is tiny. The toilet faced right to a wall. Also, It could be dangerous to walk out from the shower, as the only towel hanger was broken and the floor was usually wet because it’s hard to close the shower door tightly. I would say the shower and toilet areas could be too narrow for people who have long legs.
Anyway, I am quite sorry to have to leave this review. Celia and Carlo were nice but we really didn’t enjoy our stay as we expected:( Especially we were paying around $120 a night, we didn’t feel it was worth it, or maybe we really had high expectation on this place from all the photos and positive reviews.
I am sure Celia might not be aware some of the issues above and i believe she would improve her place better. Thank you.
