Where do I begin here.
After a long and tiring flight, I retrieved the keys to the apartment from a drop-box, as instructed. As a businessman travelling with large valises, the two-step, two-location requirement to enter accommodations is inconvenient to begin with, however I suppose that that is part of the 'Airbnb Experience'.
Once I entered the condominium building I had to play hide-and-seek to find the apartment marked 'Bajo B', but there were none to be found. In my frustration I went up and down floors trying the keys in various doors. To my disbelief, the keys functioned in the last door adjacent to the garage at the bottom of the building's stairwell. Randomly, the door was marked 'INF'.
In short, the apartment was three flights of stairs below ground, with barely any natural light and no views of any kind of the outside world. Furthermore, the balcony let on to the inside of the building's garage. Unhealthy, to say the least.
To a person subject to gloomy environments and suffering from meteoropathy, this is problematic. True, the apartment was tidy and pleasant looking once inside, but essentially it was a nicely appointed bunker.
To add insult to injury, the toilet was broken. I had to stick my arm into the tank each and every time to flush. Yuck.
In order to have the toilet fixed, I was told to leave the keys in the aforementioned lock-box. Why should a busy guest be inconvenienced further in order for repairs to be made by being left stranded without keys and access to their accommodations? I could not be without access to the apartment so there really was no solution to the toilet scenario. The whole thing was beyond annoying.
I asked Enrique for a sizeable discount. My request was not received.
