Three of my childhood friends and I stayed here for our 40th birthday celebration. First, the location was superb and within walking distance to the best parts of the city. Two of the bedrooms and the living area were wonderful- great beds, and the couch even was comfortable. Each room had blackout shades/shutters, and 2 full bathrooms worked well for four women. However, one of the rooms was underneath some loud tenants who seemed to be moving furniture all night each night we were there. We also did have some difficulty in communication at times- hosts were slow to respond and we had to use our taxi driver’s phone to call them upon landing, since we did not have international phones and are from the US. Check-in was rushed, and we were told we needed to provide tax monies in cash or to provide them with our bank account information. This seemed odd to all of us, but we provided the cash. Upon speaking to a tour guide the next day, we were told we were scammed- that it should all have been handled through the app. We also had an ant problem in the apartment, and the hosts took two days to reply to us about this. Overall; it is a great location and worked for us, but communication could have been improved, and we felt swindled.
