The location and communication with the owner (he agreed to change my apartment — the first one he showed me was quiet, but as it turned out, the only window was in the bathroom).

Unfortunately, neither of the two apartments I saw looked like the ones in the photos. They had completely different layouts and furniture arrangements. The apartment I ended up staying in had very thin walls. I could hear everything that was going on in the neighboring apartment. On top of that, someone was smoking in the hallway or in one of the apartments, and the smell came into my apartment.

Great location, walkable distance to the Malecon 2000 and close to restaurants, shops. The place is as described in the picture, simple but practical. Kitchen was easy to use and there was hot water in the shower.

The only window is facing the street with noise, pollution & dust so it's quite hard to get some air in the flat.

Great location, very central, just a few minutes walk from downtown main attractions(Parque Seminario, Marcado Central, Bahia, Malecon 2000, Mercado del Rio). Accommodation equipped with kitchen, fridge, large TV with Netflix subscription included, air conditioning, shower with hot water, towels and even saop and shampoo! Staff very friendly and helpful, one gentleman even arranged a cab to pick me up on the day of my departure. Sadly the driver didn't show up, but I can't blame the receptionist for this!!!

Maintenance of the place could have been better, the fridge was not clean and the phone number provided with the booking turned out to be wrong, making impossible to call them when needed. I eventually got their phone number, but only when I had already checked in.

Hot water and good internet.

Super loud and no windows.
