Enjoyed my stay and would recommend it to others but want to share my experience.
Pros:
- Very close to Alameda which is a cool/hip and up-and-coming neighborhood with LOTS of bars and restaurants. Feels less touristy than other areas but it still is somewhat touristy. Kind of a gritty feel to the area, which coming from NYC, I don't mind.
- Cute balconies! The place is on like a triangle block so you get different street views which is nice.
- The couch is comfy and the apartment is overall pretty spacious
Cons:
- The bedroom is on the street-facing side of the building so it is actually kind of loud - esp if you want to sleep with a window open. There was also construction on the corner which we heard every single morning.
- The tv isn't a smart tv so I couldn't get on any of my apps like Netflix. Ended up not using the television at all even though there were Spanish language channels I could have watched.
- The wifi was not great. My husband and I were working from home and it was difficult for both of us to be on the wifi at the same time. Streaming on my laptop was hit or miss too. In its defense, I had not had a lot of luck with wifi connections in Andalucia.
- The hot water wastes pretty quickly. Quick showers are a must and at the end we just started showering together to make sure we both could get some hot water, rather than waiting a long time for the next person to shower.
