This is a stylish, bright, spacious, and impressively well-equipped apartment in a lively yet peaceful neighbourhood. But there are two major problems, which many other guests have noted:
NOISE - this apartment is located immediately above a restaurant that blares bass-heavy salsa music from 11 am to 9/10 pm 7 days a week. The noise level is unacceptable and it seems there’s little the hosts can do to ameliorate it. Be aware of this before you book.
SECURITY - The exterior door, which opens to a quiet driveway, lacks a deadbolt. When we were there, it did not lock correctly either. Any determined person could force it open when locked. The interior door does have a deadbolt and is quite secure. But BOTH ought to be secure. If you’re travelling solo or are you are a vulnerable couple please consider this before booking.
The hosts provided us with a partial refund due to these problems. I cannot see how or why others won’t be inconvenienced by them too.
