When I arrived my room was uncleaned, and filthy from the previous visitors. Wet towels on the bed, hairs on the floor, you name it. After having communicated this with Paco he was very quick to get a cleaner. But the cleaner didn't do a good job at all. The 'new' sheets on the bed were stained, there were still hairs on the floor and one of the drawers of the cabinet was still filled with crumbs. I felt very uncomfortable putting my things down. After communicating again with Paco he told me I could grab new sheets in the hallway myself and change the bed myself..
So that wasn't a great start. Apart from that the room had different furniture than on the photos. There was no cosy carpet. I had to buy some plants to make the room a little more lively and cosy. The "provided tea in the room" is a kettle that needs to be put on the stove and not a waterboiler in the room.
The shower has hot water but the shower itself is the smallest shower I've ever been in. It is impossible to put soap on your body without hitting the watertap with your body and thus
changing the temperature. I am a petite woman so I really do not understand how this shower is accessible for all bodies and forms.
For me it is always important that I am staying in someones personal house, where locals live. This is the whole experience that I go for. I am not interested in renting a room in a house that is being milked for profit through AirBnB. This is how Paco's place was listed. That he lives in the other room.
This is also not the case. The other room is also rented out to I think other AirBnB clients. So it's very impersonal, with the comings and goings of other clients, not knowing when and how many times this will happen.
The room itself is very cold but luckily there is a tiny electric heater provided which does it's job if you leave it on for a long time.
The only thing I liked about the place was the high ceiling, there was sufficient natural light because of the big windows, and the location of the place is great. I really like the neighborhood.
All the communication with Paco was quick and kind. He helped me when I forgot my keys one day.
