The advantages of this apartment were:-
- It is very centrally located. All of the main attractions were a mere walk away, or a short bus ride.
- The apartment has been kept very clean by Maryel.
- Maryel was available in the evening for a later check in.
- Maryel let us store our bags at her apartment after check out for a few hours before our flight.
However, it is important to note that I have never experienced such an awful check-in as I did at this apartment. Prior to check-in, Maryel advised not to use google maps and instead to follow her directions to the apartment. These directions were incredibly unclear. My partner and I were left wandering around for over an hour trying to locate her apartment. After contacting Maryel for further directions, she began to berate us and angrily told us to "read, read, read" her directions. Once we finally located her apartment, Maryel was cold and unfriendly towards us. We were then advised of Maryel's strict household rules. It is evident that Maryel has had some terrible AirBnb experiences which has caused her to implement these rules. I agree with the multiple other rules which have all said that such rules make you, as a guest, feel like an imposition and not welcomed.
A further negative of the room itself was that it was bright and noisy. It is necessary for the guests to bring an eye mask to get a restful sleep. This was not something that we were aware of prior to our arrival.
As a result of our unfortunate experience at Maryel's apartment, we would not recommend this apartment to any of our family or friends.
