Lorena’s apartment is exactly as you see in the photos - it’s super spacious, bright, very clean, comfortable and ideally located. There’s a bathroom for every room too (all with showers - 2 en suites and 1 by the entrance) which is rare to find and very convenient.
Upon arrival, there was a mix up on the check in times by the host, which resulted in us having to wait 45 minutes to be let in after our arrival. Luckily we only had hand luggage and there are some nice restaurants on the same road. It was 4pm so most were closed but we found managed to find somewhere nice nearby.
Blanca, a co host, had sent a WhatsApp the morning of our flight, which was really nice and handy, although it was in Spanish so I didn’t understand. We were able to communicate in English after. I would suggest reconfirming you’re flight arrival time with whoever WhatsApps you just to be sure.
After being let into the apartment, I was pleasantly surprised to see it was just like the pictures and was looking forward to a great stay.
The location is absolutely ideal, better than many other places I think. It’s very safe, there’s loads of places to eat nearby, everywhere is easily accessible.
Unfortunately there was very loud building construction taking place during our stay which we were not warned about. This started at 7am during the week (we were there Tues-Thurs) and went on to about 7pm in the evening, some hours were constant, some were on and off. The walls and windows are very thin so you can really hear it like it’s happening in front of you. I did email the host about it but she did not respond, perhaps she was not around that week. In any case, she couldn’t do much about it at that point, I just think it would have been good to be warned.
Other than that, and despite it, I would actually still stay here again. Which I guess says a lot! I don’t think you can find a better place, this spacious, well located, with the bathrooms and bedrooms this one has. If there is still construction, you will likely be out most of the day anyway, and once it’s finished, it won’t be an issue.
I do definitely recommend this place, but I would suggest the host be a bit more clear on a few things going forward and maybe offer a discount during construction periods.
Thanks!
