Pros: centrally located, very spacious, cutely decorated, Wi-Fi signal was strong enough for working remotely
Cons:
1. Very noisy. I went back to others’ reviews and I’m surprised how few people mentioned the noise. Two of the bedrooms face the street and it doesn’t settle down at night. My first night there were workers literally DRILLING at midnight at the Carrefour across the street. Two dudes were throwing boxes and wooden slabs out the window at the end of the street. Garbage trucks come way past midnight and you can hear glass bottles clanging (but not in passing, by the way). I had to switch with my travel mate to the inner bedroom, but even there you can hear people above (someone left at 5am), the neighbor playing the guitar until 2am. Note that there’s also an inner courtyard of sorts and noise drifts from the apartments above and below. If you’re not as sensitive to noise as I am, then these are all non-issues. But if you are, consider this the most transparency you’ll have about the state of the apartment.
2. Communication with the hosts was generally okay except for when we were coming in. We were arriving early; I asked if it’d be possible to leave our luggage and Pepe and Maru said to contact them when I arrived. I did so a few times, both through the app and by calling them, but got no answer. We ended up storing our luggage somewhere else but my gripe is if you say you’re going to let us know, then follow through and don’t leave us hanging!
