Me and my friends stayed at Manuel’s apartment for 2 weeks and overall we were quite disappointed with our stay.
I believe we were mislead by all these great comments about Manuel’s Airbnb.
First of all when we arrived the appartement was barely cleaned up, surfaces were dirty and stained. We found a dirty laundry in the so called sofa (which is clearly not meant for sleeping in it, because it’s just a tiny tiny mattress against the floor) maybe you should consider having a real sofa bed to avoid the misery of sleeping on the floor for your guests.
There is a terrible smell in the appartement.
Because the appartement is not isolated, it was a real challenge to fall asleep with all the music going on in the building. We literally hear everything that is going on outside and the room gets very cold at night, because one of the window is opened and fixed with a sort of plank.... Plus the dryer doesn’t work.
Definitely the worst part was the fact that this appartement is infested with cockroaches all over in the kitchen and in the bathroom! I’ve seen an old comment saying that there were cockroaches, so maybe something should be done to finally get rid of those bugs ? Instead of denying their presence.
Anyway the good point is that Manuel is pretty welcoming, and lives nearby so if you need anything he will help. We talked about the cleaning problem and Manuel immediately came to clean up the appartement. (However cockroaches were still present, even in the kitchen drawers where pans and pots are stacked)...
The appartement is spacious and could be a lot better if all the problems quoted above were fixed !
