I stayed at Daniela’s place for 3 weeks.
Importantly, guests of this lodging at the time of this review should note that Daniela’s place is kind of like a homey hostel situation. There are three bedrooms apparently in this apartment, one where Daniela stays in, one where I stayed in, and one where another guest or several guests can stay in.
During my 3 weeks, multiple sets of guests/strangers that I never met before or was introduced to before had slept overnight with varied durations, and we all shared one bathroom.
My bedroom door could not be locked, although I felt like my belongings were safe. Everyone seemed friendly, but at the time of this review it was not clear based on my reading of the description that this type of hostel accommodations would be my experience.
Overall things that I liked:
-safe quiet neighborhood
-Jazz is the sweetest dog
-coffee was great
-room was spacious for one person, and had plenty of storage for my long-term stay
-air conditioning was flawless and perfect for the summer heat and humidity
Besides clearer communication on the hostel-type stay, things that I would’ve appreciated more:
-clearer orientation to the apartment on check-in
-better understanding of what items in the fridge were common items, which ones belonged to various guests, and what we could expect to be replenished
-greater enforcement of quiet hours at night among the various guests that stayed
-reminder to the various guests that the apartment and common doors should be locked consistently when leaving the apartment
All-in-all I had a good stay for the purposes of my experience. Thank you to Daniela for hosting me.
