My first & last time using Vrbo!
The area is not luxurious as described. It definitely used to be a ghetto which they are now rebuilding. The apartment is quaint and clean. However, there are a few items missing from the room that were shown in the pictures. The is no air circulation and you always have to have the A/C on. There is a water stain in the ceiling of one of the bedrooms and it's peeling. I was afraid it would fall down on us while sleeping but thank God it didnt. They told us there was complimentary water, but it was an opened bottle someone had refilled and put in the fridge. I'd think for what we paid we could at least get an unopened bottle. The duvet covers on both beds were damp. The couple we traveled with brought extra blankets so this didn't bother them. But for my wife and I, it made for a horrible first night. I messaged Ivan about it he stated he had already left the property and would have someone come in the morning. This was poor hosting/ service in my eyes. My wife and I couldn't sleep well because we had no blankets and the A/C had to stay on, so it was cold. We were also told we couldn't smoke in the courtyard area, so we had to stand on the side of the street. The cobblestone pathway leading to the apartment is cracked and broken and I nearly fell a few times so be careful. The courtyard was also dirty and needed a good sweeping and debris removal. When we asked to take the complimentary breakfast upstairs, they said no. Which is their right, but the fact that it's offered, I should be allowed to eat it wherever I want. I also had to take out the trash before leaving. Wasn't that part of the fees? Overall, not a horrible place but I felt I didn't get what I paid for. I personally feel for this type of money your better off going to a hotel.
