This apartment is clean, spacious, and in a great location, within walking distance to restaurants and a major grocery store and several drugstores. Alejandro let me check in an hour early, which I definitely appreciated. I like that the building has a secure fob key system to get in and out and be able to use the elevator.
Overall my 2-night stay here was good but the apt. needs more loving care and attention to make it 5-star worthy in my book. It is lacking some basic amenities. There wasn’t a complete matching towel set for the bathroom....there weren’t any washcloths at all—and towels were thin and looked cheap. No bath mat, no soap or body shampoo. An almost empty container of hand soap was on the counter.
In the kitchen: no coffee maker, no cutting board, no hand soap, no automatic dishwasher detergent, no baking dishes, no can opener, no oven mitts, no wine glasses (though there was a wine opener) & only one dish towel. There are numerous empty cabinets & drawers that could easily be home to kitchen basics. Only 2 forks in the entire kitchen. When I travel and stay in AirBnb properties, being able to cook in an equipped kitchen is key for me on the road. Staying here, I wasn’t able to do this.
Dining Room-there is a pretty round table with 3 comfy chairs & nice ceiling fan overhead. Placemats & napkins would be a nice touch.
In the bedroom: there is a bed, a floor lamp and a sofa...would have loved a night stand to put a drink or book on. Fortunately the bed is very comfortable with great pillows. Slept great! The first night I had to put a top sheet from the closet on the bed after pulling back the comforter to find only a fitted sheet...and no blanket around anywhere for the bed in case you got cold (comforter is very lightweight).
It’s great to have a washer & dryer in the apt. and there was laundry detergent to use.
Bottom line: For someone who is looking for a clean, convenient no-frills place to stay, it’s a good choice, but if you are wanting a well-equipped place where you feel like the host anticipates your needs and comfort, you might not love it. (When I messaged the host about oven mitts or wine glasses, he said sorry, I only have the basics...definition of the basics for a full kitchen would include these and what I mentioned previously in the review. When I asked about a blanket for the bed, I got no response at all.) The special extra touches as well as basics you’d expect of nicer AirBnb places would have earned this place 5 stars from me.
