Raquel was a very responsive host. She always responded quickly to our requests and inquiries. When we had an issue with the key, she showed up and resolved our problem as soon as she could. We arrived early and she was able to let us drop off our luggage and eventually enter the apartment an hour before scheduled check-in.
The location is great. It is equidistant (5 mins. walk) between two Metro stations and close to many bus stops. There is a café right in front of the apartment and many options for purchasing groceries. The appliances and the shower are modern. The apartment is small (I guess I didn’t pay that much attention to the size in the description), but it was big enough for the two of us. The air conditioning worked well, which was good since the days were extremely hot. The Wi-Fi was reliable and strong.
I was not thrilled with the cleanliness of the apartment, especially the rug that was under the coffee table. It was really dirty. The linens seemed worn out and the pillows were thin and not conducive for sleeping. There were no extra pillows to make up for this thinness. A wastebasket in the bathroom would have made life easier. The bathroom sink was modern, but it was tiny and difficult to use for teeth brushing. The toilet seat was wobbly and I was afraid it was going to break each time I sat down. The table is a mirror that comes down from the wall. We didn’t use it.
We had a nice stay at Raquel’s apartment. It wasn’t a perfect place, but it was comfortable enough.
