We stayed in The Esmeralda apartment for 3nights and overall it was a great experience. The apartment itself is so spacious, there was only 2 of us so we were very lucky to have so much room to spread out! 3 bedrooms, a great bathroom with plenty of room, a big lounge room and kitchen! We chose to stay in this apartment mainly due to having a car and not wanting to drive right into the city and needing free parking but also being close enough to visit the city- this place turned out to be quite difficult in terms of driving and parking and i feel as though we were led to believe it would be a fairly easy process. We were alerted by our gps to a few non resident access streets close by, luckily we didn't have to go in any, the streets are also very narrow and when you don't know where you are it is very confusing as there are cars absolutely everywhere double parked and one way streets so it can be stressful! We found a park purely by luck, otherwise we would have driven around for a long time which is not at all easy! we were then parked in and worried if we would be able to leave!
Jesus greeted us in the apartment and was so kind and lovely, giving us more than enough information to help us make our stay the best possible!
Unfortunately over our 3 nights we only manage one 30second shower on our first day before all our hot water ran out. Jesus was quick to respond to my message coming over to the apartment to source the problem, unfortunately it was something that needed to be fixed so we were left without hot water for our entire stay which was extremely frustraing and made our stay a bit less of a positive experience.
Overall though we did love our stay, great location with bus stop very close by and a supermarket around the corner! we would definitely recommend!
