Alberto’s place is centrally located to mostly everything. If you like to walk (which is a great way to get to see the sights and get to know the area) then you can get to mostly everywhere (our longest walk was about an hour). The apartment is beautiful and worth the walk up one flight since there is no elevator in the building. However, our issues with the apartment come from it’s cleanliness. Upon opening the door to the building there was an immediate sewer odor coming from a door by the entrance of the building. This is not Alberto’s fault as it appears to be an issue with the building but the smell does permeate into the apartment on the first floor.
As others have mentioned, the apartment appears to be superficially cleaned. On first glance, it is beautiful and the beds are comfortable. However, the second bedroom was missing linens, the bed in the second bedroom had hairs on it, the comforter in the closet had stains, and we found certain utensils with stuck on food in the kitchen.
We do not think this is Alberto’s fault but probably that of his cleaning service. These cleanliness issues aside, the apartment is comfortable, safe and communication with the host was excellent.
