Overall, I loved the apartment itself but ran into issues with the hosts. The apartment and its surroundings were great—very cute interior and central location that made it easy to get around on foot. Clearly it is a very special place. The apartment does not have heating, which made it a little chilly in February but not too bad. The apartment—and all of the linens—smelled of cigarette smoke.
Asuncion never contacted me, only their cohost, Nerea, who told me to text the number of a woman—who had no connection to the Airbnb listing—30 minutes from my arrival. When I asked who she was, I did not get any response. I was asked to sign a rental agreement that was not referenced in the listing. When I had trouble with a window, I messaged Nerea (through Airbnb), who told me she was at work at that I should text the woman who let me into the building. When I did, she never responded. Overall, no major security issues but a lack of communication made more confusing by a language barrier.
