The good, the bad, and the ugly. The Good: We found the apartment to be exceptionally clean, spacious, and well appointed (it even has a safe, not something you find in many an Airbnb). The bed is huge and very comfortable, as is the lounge, and the kitchen has everything we needed for our 18-day stay. An added bonus was that several of the streaming services, including Netflix and HBO Max, were already signed in so we had access to shows we hadn’t subscribed for. The Bad: The apartment is located on the first floor and is reached by steep, outside stairs (not ideal for a couple in their 70’s with 4 heavy suitcases on the first leg of a round the world trip). It’s also noisy, especially on Friday and Sunday nights, when a Brazilian restaurant across the street has a live band playing loudly until 10pm. Clearly the hosts are aware of this as we found a bowl of earplugs by the bedside. There was also noise from the communal fire pit, which we didn’t use, but a raucous group renting another apartment in the building did. Finally there’s the parking. The slot allocated to this apartment is one of three, and is accessed from a narrow laneway that is parked out at night. To further complicate matters, there’s a water drain, that makes navigating into the slot, which is adjacent to a wall, tricky. Now the Ugly: one night getting out of the car we disturbed a rat. The parking area is adjacent to where all the garbage bins are kept and the lids on the bins are not always kept closed. I appreciate that the hosts cannot do much to mitigate some of these issues, but they could be more forthcoming in describing the place and charge accordingly. We thought it overpriced.
