Santos Stylish by Homing

Strange little apartment that lacked the basics. Has potential, but needs some serious work. The shower had an open ceiling, which opened to a gap behind the headboard of the bed in the loft above. This meant your shower (and bathroom) opened into the bedroom, including all the steam. There was a tiny window above the bed, but no screen - so we couldn't open it to vent shower steam out of the bedroom because of the mosquitoes. There was no hand soap in the bathroom. Hand soap isn't something that travellers want to purchase in each location. There were dishes, but they were all dirty. This is because there was no dish soap, dishcloths, or anything to do any sort of cleaning at all. There was a tv, but there was no cable box, or any kind of streaming capability. It looked as though someone stole a cable box, because there was just a cord hanging from the tv. So, the tv was unusable. Location-wise, directly above a bar. Noisy. No fan or AC or any way to cool the place down. We were fine as it was cool at night, but in the summer beware.

This property was very hard to find. After searching for nearly an hour, the cab driver basically made me get out of the taxi. The property was clean, seemed recently redone. Sleeping area is up a ladder and the ceiling is so los that I couldn’t stand up. Blanket seemed really worn. Couldn’t figure out how to get tv to work. WiFi very reliable. Lots of outlets. Stove top with pots n pans n dishes. But if you want to do anything other than reheat something you would need to get to a grocery store for the basics like salt, pepper and oil. Nice location. Liked the neighborhood a lot.
