Javier’s place is stylish and centrally located. However, communication with the host during the trip was nonexistent. There were no responses to any of my messages. I had messaged Javier upon check-in (there was no one there to meet us and no one answered at the unit— we waited about 30 min until someone came out and let us in). I also messaged due to a concern about noise (there was major construction/renovation work within the entire building. The upstairs neighbors were one night keeping us up partying until 6am). Javier did not respond to any messages until after we checked out and replied cooly that these matters were out of his control. While the latter complaint (re: noisy neighbors) may be out of his hands, the first two were not. Notice about how to check in as well as a warning that there would be building-wide construction occurring at the time of our stay could have been relayed to us ahead of time. In summary, Javier was amendable—he allowed us to check in earlier and the apartment itself is beautiful. However, it was very disappointing that there was no communication on his end during our trip. For visitors who are light sleepers or traveling with children— noise may be a concern. Even without considering the construction, the walls are thin and noise from the stairwell/neighbors can be a disturbance.
