Extremely nosiy, but a good value.
Pros: great host in a great location. Antonio was very responsive and quick to address any fixable issue. Also, it’s a good value for an expensive area.
Cons:
Noise: there should be a warning in the listing. The bedroom on the street (which is the only bedroom - the other bed is in the living room/kitchen) was so loud we could hardly sleep. We weren’t even trying to sleep in, we were sleeping between 11pm & 7am, but the entire time we could hear people, cars, horns, and police/ambulance sirens. There’s a bar/restaurant downstairs and we could hear everything they were saying and doing until late hours of the night.
Check-in: The check-in process was a little confusing. It’s hard to find the right door and our code was wrong. Antonio quickly resolved this but only after we tried to get into the wrong apartment and after the building manager found us and called Antonio for us.
Other:
When we arrive, almost half of the lights were out, including all of the lights in the bathroom. We spent the first night showering and getting ready in the dark.
The apartment was extremely cold when we arrived, the heat was basically turned off (in late November). The thermostat was difficult to use but Antionio helped us figure it out quickly, but we still spent the first night freezing because he didn’t have the heat on before we arrived.
