We booked this rental 9 months in advance because of the location and that it was, a great location right amongst lots of restaurants and shops, and within walking distance to many wonderful touring locations. However this was not the best place to stay. We had many issues that were really hazards:
5 flights of very old stairs in a dark hallway.
A low 5'10" walkway, not just an arch, to get to the toilet; a hazard for banging your head on the ceiling.
Loose floor tiles that pop out when walking across them and sharp edged, creating a hazard for toe cutting and stubbing in the resulting floor holes.
The air conditioner drains right across the rooftop patio and causes a slippery surface.
Other issues we encountered:
It felt like we were a bother to the property manager who checked us in. He was in a rush and only spent a few minutes with us. We received very little instructions for the place.
No welcome book with helpful instructions, like for oven, washing machine, garbage, and stairway lights, which were definitely needed.
The bed is very firm.
Low water pressure in bathroom.
Several minutes for hot water in shower.
There is no garbage on the property and you are required to walk it to a station 5 minutes away.
Difficult to find what we needed on our own.
The good news is that the owner, Monica, was very responsive via texting. I did messenger a number of suggestions so hopefully they get implemented.
