this is a pleasant space to live in for a few days. really nice architectural details in the living room - floor-to-ceiling shuttered windows, vaulted ceiling, white bricks - with lots of lovely design (i especially love the shower tiles); good seating for eating, and decent living room seating for hanging out. having the laundry was great. the main bedroom is definitely noisy at night, as it is above a street filled with restaurants and bars, which close at 1:30, but their patrons often linger later. the second bedroom is an interior room so, no windows (no fresh air, no natural light).
though we enjoyed the space well enough, there were some drawbacks, primarily in provisions provided (and, not provided), and a lack of information. there was a roll of tp at each toilet, but there was no extra. this wouldn't necessarily be an issue, but there were no napkins, no tissue paper, no paper towels. i asked sisi about this and she told me there was an extra roll above the laundry; when i told her there was no extra tp and, in fact, there were no paper products whatsoever, she told me this was a 5 star airbnb and not a 5 star hotel, and i should go to the market 3 meters away and buy whatever i like.
when it was time to sleep, we discovered the beds were made only with top sheets, no blankets. i texted sisi, but did not receive her reply until i awoke in the morning. she let us know that extra pillows and blankets could easily be found under the mattress. in the meantime, we made the less-than-lovely discovery that the beds were made with two overlapping top sheets, each not wide enough to cover the mattress so that, as we turned in the night, we were left with hardly any coverage at all. much of this discomfort (but not the bit about the too-small sheets!) would have been avoided if info about extra bedding had been included in the too-sparse info sheet provided on the dining table.
this is a cute place, good value, lots to recommend it. nothing's perfect.
