The apartment upon check in, we noticed that the bathroom and especially the floors were dirty and had hairs on the ground. In addition, one of the bathroom flush was broken. We reported this to the host and they came the next day to clean it once more but the bathroom flush was never resolved. I’ve stayed in over 30 airbnbs from 20 countries and I can say this was one of the dirtiest places we’ve seen.
We stayed at Nacho’s apartment for 3 nights but after the first night, our reservation was abruptly cancelled with no explanation from the host or airbnb. In the end, we had to arrange payment directly with the host which is not something I was very happy about.
Lastly, it’s important to let future guests know:
- the apartment is in a central location near the cathedral so easy to get around but this also means when taking a taxi especially from the airport, taxis won’t be able to drop you off directly at the apartment and you’ll have to walk at least 5+ minutes by foot.
- the apartment is on the ground floor with one of the bedrooms facing the main street so that means it can get a little noisy.
- The apartment is not as bright with natural light as the photos show in the listing. Since you’re on the ground floor and the living room and a bedroom faces the street, you tend to not open the window shutters fully since people bypassing will be able to look directly into the apartment. Therefore the only way we got enough light in the flat was to use the lights.
- there’s a outdoor backyard but it’s not a very appealing place to spend time and is mainly used to hang clothes.
- there’s a kitchen with utensils and plates, and even a coffee maker but no simple condiments or a few coffee pods so you have to buy everything if you plan to cook or use the appliances.
