Our family stayed here for 10 days the flat was spacious, super clean n well located in the heart of the city with all the conveniences. Can’t ask for a better location ! Our hosts Alison and Leonor were excellent from point of contact right through the last day. Check in was abit confusing given that there were 5 lock boxes but we figured it out nonetheless. Love that Alison was so thoughtful to stock the fridge with essentials given that we arrived at dawn and she was kind enough to have basics there for us. Thank you.
The one thing that this flat did not get a five star from us is we were not pre warned about the heavy doors in this building. ALL The doors in the building (8 in total) slam shut automatically whenever it closes creating an echo so loud that we hear it throughout the night (weekends and weekdays ) and starts back up every morning by 7am through to around 10am constantly every 5mins during this peak times.
We were jet lagged and were trying to sleep throughout the day but it was impossible. There’s not much I can complain as there isn’t noice violation laws during the day, however, at night right through 3:30am someone would come home and the main lobby door wld slam and then their house door wl slam 2 mins after . This went on on a daily basis . Think about 8flats and multiply it by the number of adults living there and each going to work at different times or tourists going out at diff times during peak hours at 7am right through to 10am and sporadically throughout the day.
If we were pre-warned, I wouldn’t be as surprised and disappointed if I decide the location was more important than noise. Btw, street noise was expected as we are staying right in the city, I never expected Door slamming on a daily basis.
