Here are some pros and cons. It really depends on your purpose of stay and your level of sensitivity to cleanliness and a few other things that I have mentioned below. I hope these help both the future guests and the hosts:
Pros:
- Good communication
- Easy check-in
- You can drop off your bags and luggage before checking in
- Great location near the bars in Castro district
- Friendly hosts
- Mini fridge and microwave
Cons:
- No AC
- Loud noise from the outside but you cannot do anything because if you close the windows it gets hot
- It was not the cleanest Airbnb, not really super host level. The bathroom had a bad smell, the shower floor was pretty dirty, and there was a very dirty divider with some splatter which was either coffee or vomit! the bath towels and the bed sheets were not white so they could not be bleached and that made me uncomfortable
- Very weak water pressure and low temperature
- A lot of stairs making it difficult to go up with a lot of bags or if you are drunk
- I texted Cesar and asked to leave at 11:15 instead of 11:00 am and he ran upstairs as I was in my underwear and said it was impossible because they were expecting guests that were checking in earlier! I understand the circumstances, but I preferred a text answer!
- High price for all the above cons
- Lack of privacy especially for the person sleeping outside the room
- Slow Wi-Fi
- Not very organized bathroom or closets
