Our hostess was very pleasant and was responsive to some problems that we encountered. The apt is fairly spacious with a nice sized kitchen/dining/living area and a good sized patio with grill and comfortable L shaped lounge area furniture. We, however, had a less than satisfactory time. Our major problem was the plumbing: the one toilet backed up 4 times...no unusual use. The bathroom sink also ran so slowly that we had to wait in between uses. By the 4th back up in the toilet, we contacted the owner who did respond and fix it, but it seems like an ongoing problem. My other disappointment was in the general condition of the place: bed quilt (smelly), grout on bathroom floor dirty. Generally dinginess. The photos make the place look lighter/cleaner than it looks in person. Finally, there are people who live upstairs and there is a lot of foot noise from them dancing (?), jumping (?), running (?) even at night as well as constant noise from a main traffic artery just below this property.
