Guest Reviews

• Folik (8/5): -
• Denise (9/5): Very tranquil - It has a great location. Lots within walking distance. The hot water was lukewarm warm
• Villegas (6/5): - La vista El problema del acceso, cambios de clave, y no tener lavadora en el apartamento
• Veronica (10/5): -
• Loza (4/5): Mala atención de los anfitriónes - La ubicación Mala atención de los anfitriónes, pésimo diría yo, tardaron mucho en contestar todo el tiempo,de hecho hubo cosas que nunca me contestaron, me llegaron a colgar el teléfono y me pasaban otros números de otras personas para que marcara y también me colgaba la verdad la atención mala
• María Andrea (10/5): -
• Juan Pablo (1/5): PÉSIMO - Nada 1. Me dijeron que la reserva no se ve "reflejada" en el sistema de ellos. 2. Que tuve que haberlos escrito para confirmar la confirmación. Que ineficacia! 3. Que prácticamente no fue culpa de ellos. Por cierto, todo esto pasó a las 23:00. Y oh sorpresa! Luego se ve que ellos mismos cancelaron la reserva que "no se ve reflejada". Luego, me dan un hospedaje en otro lugar, muy bonito, pero que debía salir el siguiente día a las 11:00 y ver dónde me quedo. Pésima organización, pésimo servicio de check in. ¡NO LE RECOMIENDO A NADIE!
• Claudia (6/5): - The location of the building is great! Just across park Carolina and close to metro and mall I stayed on a Saturdaynight and the building was really noisy - music and people laughing and talking in the hallway In my opinion it could be more clean/hygienic if you pay $20
• Mekini (10/5): Exceptional -
• Phoebe (5/5): Passable -
• Tuhina (4/5): Do not stay here - I liked the location that's close to the metro and near a park Horrible communication. I emailed and whatsapped the host multiple times. Also used booking platform. As soon as payment was remitted I never heard from them. We arrived late and security wouldn't let us in. Tough time to make payment with unreliable online portal. Accomodation was tiny. Sofa bed was very uncomfortable for my children. No drinking water . No bathroom amenities. Couldn't use gym, hot tub or pool without reservation ( couldn't contact the owners to secure a reservation ). Overpriced for so little value. I will never stay here again. Do not recommend
• Constantine (1/5): WORST MANAGEMENT! AVOID AT ALL COST! - The view from our apartment was nice but nothing else was worth renting this apartment. I would NOT book it ever again or any apartments managed by Gabriel Guzman or Co-living Ecuador. There were multiple issues that were noted on our arrival and our landlord failed to help us to address them and in the end he just ignored our kind requests (I took screen shots with time stamps to prove negligence). On arrival our digital apartment key did not work, even the house-staff had no clue why it didn't function. After manually typing in the code and accessing the apartment, we found out that the apartment was not cleaned and was still very dirty, while I was on the video call with our landlord. Dirty towels, tissues, and beding were everywhere. Eventually, he placed us in the upper floor which was cleaned but did not have any basic supplies such as sugar, salt, pepper, dish soap, paper towels, coffee, tea, laundry detergent, cooking oil, and the glass of the coffee pot was cracked and with mold growing in its water reservoir. Additionally, there was dirty soap in the shower from prior tenants. After reaching out to our booking owner, Gabriel Guzman, we promised that everything would be appropriately address but instead only received coffee and tea with most of the supplies still missing and the coffee maker still not replaced. We reached out to Gabriel two more times but he continued to ignore us. So we left without fully paying for our stay because it was terrible experience and I hope more people will complain and either get him fired or have better management take over. Sorry for a lengthy feedback but I hope it helps. In my decade of traveling, I have never experienced such a negligent management.
• Zambrano (9/5): Great _sejour_ and we'll go back. - Comfortable, clean, nice view, excellent location. There wasn't any extra bedspread for the bed sofa. Fortunately, the host helped us one day before we left the apartment. Thanks fort that. ✌️
• Antonio (9/5): Superb - Super easy to collect the keys. Just talk to the guy at the reception. You've gotta know a bit of Spanish
• Maritsa (10/5): Exceptional - Will definitely be returning to stay here. The host went above and beyond to ensure we had a good stay. Highly recommend bringing a swim cap for the pool.
• Polina (7/5): Can’t give a very good review due to some issues - I liked that it was a modern apartment with balcony and the view, very clean. Manager tried to help with the issues but it was Christmas Eve. First of all, I thought it was 2 bedroom apartment but it appeared to be only one bedroom and a common area with 2 coaches. There was no bedding for a coach to sleep, they only delivered it next day as they explained to me that it was Christmas Eve. I think there was a party upstairs so we could not sleep due to very loud music until 2 am.
• Veronica (4/5): The saving graces were the sauna and hot tub. - Facilities were clean and modern. The security staff were exceptional. The sauna, steam room and pool area were excellent. Reservation:  November 10–12, 2023 18th Floor Apartment# 1804A APARTMENT LOCATED DIRECTLY BELOW EVENT/PARTY AREA On November 10th, at 8 p.m., when I returned to the apartment after a 2-hour sauna, there was loud music coming from upstairs.   From 8p.m. to 12 a.m. I was bombarded with loud music and the sounds of people stomping/jumping around on the floor, which happened to be on the ceiling of the bedroom I was trying to sleep in.  I contacted Gabriel at 8:59 p.m.  After waiting half an hour for him to respond, I went downstairs to ask security what was going on.  They informed me that there was a party and that it should be over by 1 a.m. I received a response from Gabriel at 10:05 p.m. He left a voice msg stating the party should be over by 11 p.m.; he offered to move me to another apartment  the next day.  I asked him the following questions: Did he have previous knowledge that there was going to be a party?  Was there going to be another party on Saturday night?   And, if so, I would like another apartment.   He did not answer my questions and did not proceed with his offer to move me to another apartment.   Again, I had to contact him to initiate communication with him the next day.  On Nov. 11th, I was out for the whole day, returning around 12:30 am.  Again, there was another party being held.  Fortunately, I only endured 30 minutes, as the party ended around 1 a.m. Having had this experience truly disappoints me.  Not only that, but the disappointment in the integrity of people. Firstly, I had no idea that the apartment was located directly below a social area; this needs to be disclosed.  Also, given the parties scheduled, I should have been given the option to change apartments upon check-in. The so-called "incredible view" does not make up for this experience.  I paid in good faith, believing that I was in for an incredible experience. The expectations were very high, but they did not deliver.
