Mauricio’s place is in a fabulous location and has all the basics for the stay (towels, pots and pans, etc.). Nothing fancy here, but you can get it done! There wasn’t a coffee maker when we arrived and Mauricio did get someone to purchase and drop it for the flat.
However there is also a lot that needs to be fixed and or disclosed.
- Mold in multiple areas in the unit. This unit is a ground floor unit and I think has some ventilation issues. We emailed Mauricio and sent pictures to make him aware. He indicated that it’s a known issue in the building, but appears to have gotten worse since the last time he saw it.
- Hot water lasts for about 5 minutes and then goes to lukewarm/room temp. We made Mauricio aware. He indicated it was a small water heater, but was going to have someone look at it.
- Flat is not suitable for kids - lack of ceiling lights upstairs, no handrail on stairs and sharp (glass) edges made even us adults extra careful, especially for the early-morning bathroom breaks while half asleep!
- As noted in a previous review, the door lock is temperamental. There is no door handle so you have to use the key to pull the door closed and then it can be a bit of a fight to lock and unlock the door.
This place could be really fantastic with just a bit more love and affection. We hope that our review helps!
