Overall: Pepe Y Mary were fantastic hosts. Throughout our planning, booking, and preparation for the trip they were responsive, caring, receptive to questions, and very helpful.
Cons: As other reviews noted there are a lot of stairs in the apartment so that is worth consideration for folks who may not be as able to hike flights of stairs if using the bedroom not located on the first floor, which is still up one flight of stairs in the entrance.
Additionally, other reviews mentioned that the apartment was silent, however, we were able to hear pretty audible noise from the bars/cafes located directly outside our door. There are reinforced windows that aim to block the sound but if you are a light sleeper or bothered by noise this is worth considering. Note: noise tended to die down around 12:30am.
The only other con about the apartment was that there was noticeable smells of cigarette smoke that wafted into the apartment given the proximity of the bars/cafe
directly outside the apartment door. If you have an aversion to smoke, asthma, or allergies this may bother you.
Pros: we were able to check-in a bit early, which was much appreciated.
Pepe Y Maru also tracked our flight and messaged us once we landed, which was a very kind and caring added touch. They were also communicative and responsive to questions throughout our stay.
Pablo, who met us at the apartment to check us in spent a generous amount of time with us reviewing a map, giving us touring and restaurant recommendations, and answering all our questions.
The apartment was as it appeared in the pictures. The beds and bedding was comfortable and the rooms a good size. Note that the “big bed” on the first floor is two smaller beds pushed together but there is a fuller size big bed on the upper level.
Location was awesome and we were able to walk everywhere.
There is a local supermarket right nearby and many restaurants in close proximity.
The balcony is beautiful and gives you great views of the city.
