Pros:
-The price was right
-The location was fantastic in a quiet neighborhood north of the city center 5 minutes from the Penitents Metro stop
-Huge house with beds for 16
-Great wifi and AC
-Plenty of parking on site and on the street
Cons:
-The house is old and badly in need of some updates
-Towels and sheets have definitely been used a lot
-The kitchen is small, with limited supplies, and not very user friendly. We had to light the stove and oven each time we wanted to use it. It made it hard for more than two people to cook at once.
-Limited supplies of most everything from plates and glasses to pillows and towels
-On our first day in the house one of the upstairs showers did not have much pressure. I tried to pull the plug to increase the pressure and it came out. I put it back but that shower was a problem for the whole week. I failed to mention it to our hosts because I lost my mobile phone and therefore his number, and as a result we were charged 60 euros to fix it. It was not a lot of money but it bothered me. I should have let them know as soon as it happened. Live and learn.
-The pool was a nice feature but the water level was low and it has many cracks and holes at the top. It looks like it was leaking water from, the top so they lowered the water level down to stop the leaks rather than fix them.
Overall: We enjoyed our stay, I just wish they would reinvest some money they earn from rentals to upgrade the house. It was good but it could be incredible.
