Del Parque Flats - Hernan Ruiz

The location was good for us, a quiter street but walking distance to everything. It pays to have a map though as there are many twists and turns.

This spacious apartment is in a perfect location with lots of good features but it was also lacking in many. Almost nothing was provided to get us started on our 3-week stay except the standard hotel soap, shampoo, body wash and 2 rolls of toilet paper. There was a mop and broom but no cleaning supplies to use with them and we didn’t want to buy cleaning supplies that would be left behind. There was a washing machine, but no laundry detergent. There were no extra garbage bags and we were told to buy our own. There was no dish towel, paper towel, etc. We feel that if owners expect visitors to keep the premises clean for 3 weeks, they should provide the basic materials to do so, as other VRBOs have done. A common rooftop terrace is advertised, but the door was locked and there was no key. The apartment is in desperate need of maintenance. The sofa arm was loose; the shower door comes off the track; the bedside lamp base was broken; the chain for the living room blind was detached from the wall; the coffee maker had no filter; the support for the shower nozzle was cracked, etc. The apartment walls need cleaning and painting due to scuff marks and large patches of mildew around some of the windows. There is also an all-night bar below with VERY loud patrons in the street. There are 2 construction zones on the street during the day. The loud elevator in the adjacent building is next to the bedroom wall. This place may be okay for a couple of days, but not for several weeks.
