I consider us to be flexible travelers, but we’re we’re disappointed with our stay.
Most importantly, the apartment is located DIRECTLY ABOVE A CLUB THAT PLAYS LOUD MUSIC UNTIL 2AM almost every day. Even with ear plugs, you are still able to feel the bass. At least a couple of people in our group had trouble sleeping because of the noise.
Also frustrating, there were several issues during our stay that the owner should have discovered in advance. The AC units in one of the bed rooms was leaking, there were insects in the bathrooms and there was no place to hang our clothes after washing them. He was responsive and sent plumbers and someone to clean, but they weren’t able to fix the root causes of first two issues since it will require more work and it would have been too disruptive to our stay (he did send someone to buy a hanging rack). Hopefully all of this will be resolved before the next guest checks in.
A couple of other things to note:
- the wifi doesn’t reach the main bedroom in the back of the unit
- the closet thing to a dedicated workspace is the dining room table
- there is no freezer even though it indicated the unit has one in the listing
- the kitchen is sparsely stocked… no oil, salt, pepper, etc and only minimal utensils
- there are no closets for storage even though the listing indicates plentiful closets
At first, the host was extremely responsive, but as we got more frustrated, he became less and less responsive. We sent a long message indicating our frustration and we got a one word response several hours later - Sorry.
I’d recommend you find somewhere else to stay.
