This apartment photographs well, is located in a trendy but noisy-at-night neighborhood, and had outstanding property management by Mayra. It is time, however, to spend some money to upgrade the furniture and mattress and to repair the water leaks in the guest bath and above the staircase, which also leaked into the food prep area in the kitchen.
One side of the master bed mattress has caved in and has a distinct sunken hole in it - it needs to be replaced. The sofa has "bottomed out" and has no support whatsoever - it also needs to be replaced. Some panels of the sheer curtains and blackout curtains are torn or dirty and also need to be replaced, as do the inoperable kitchen blinds.
There are items shown in the photographs or on the inventory list that are no longer in the apartment, unfortunately for us as one of the deciding factors in booking this apartment was the very comfortable-looking, white upholstered chairs that have been replaced with hard chairs. The big white sofa cushions shown in the photo are missing; they would be useful for back support on this deep couch. The terrace lounge chairs are different than what is at the apartment now and actually look more comfortable than the wooden lounge chairs with thin pads there currently. Also missing from the inventory list were: the pay-as-you go cellphones, alarm clocks, deluxe hairdryer, and stationery (pencils, pens, markers, scissors, tape, glue).
The gas range was disconnected temporarily and replaced with a portable, 2-burner electric cook top, which worked for small pans/pots only. Only one of the two small safes in the master bedroom can be accessed.
Mayra was very responsive to our needs and worked very efficiently and effectively to resolve issues. Among other things she replaced the broken international phone, which was very useful during our stay. She also replaced a rusted clothes drying rack. She provided a missing Nespresso machine and part; brought towels to mop up leaks from the rainstorms; and scheduled maintenance to begin leak repairs and to replace burned out light bulbs.
The general cleanliness of the apartment was good, although it could do with a "second level" in-depth cleaning, to include the dining room light fixture with dead insects and the greasy aluminum mini-blinds in the kitchen. We were surprised that there were no mattress pads on the beds and that the master bed mattress showed several large yellow stains through the sheets.
