1-star review of Josefa by Urbanista

I've been living here a month; here are my comments:
The apartment has several design and functionality problems that affect daily life.
There were faults from day one: the dryer didn't work and they had to replace the entire washer-dryer unit. On top of that, the layout of the spaces isn't well resolved. For example, the wardrobe door hits the air conditioning control and switches it on accidentally; and the microwave is placed above the sink, which means I can't wash up comfortably because of my height. That reflects a basic lack of planning.
Another clear mistake is the lack of light switches near the bed — even in a studio, you have to get up to turn the lights off, which is absurd in a modern design.
The windows have soundproofing, “supposedly”, because the noise of motorbikes and other vehicles comes through quite loudly.
App access doesn't work for the entrance doors.
Sometimes there are smells like drains or stagnant water.
Lifts constantly out of service — to come down from the amenity floors I've had to use the stairs because they weren't available or took more than 10 minutes.
Overall, very disappointed with the building's infrastructure.
What I do want to highlight is the excellent service from the reception staff — Andrés, Diego, Walberto and the others whose names I don't know yet — always willing to help and with a good attitude.
However, that doesn't make up for the design and operational failures of the place.

Llevo un mes viviendo aquí, dejo mis comentarios:
El departamento tiene varios problemas de diseño y funcionalidad que afectan la experiencia diaria.
Desde el inicio hubo fallas: la secadora no funcionaba y tuvieron que reemplazar el centro de lavado completo. Además, el diseño de los espacios no está bien resuelto. Por ejemplo, la puerta del clóset golpea el control del aire acondicionado y lo activa accidentalmente; además, el horno de microondas está colocado encima de la tarja, lo que no me permite lavar los trastes cómodamente debido a mi altura. Esto refleja una falta básica de planeación.
Otro error claro es la falta de apagadores cerca de la cama: aunque sea un estudio, tienes que levantarte a apagar las luces, lo cual es absurdo en un diseño moderno.
Las ventanas tienen bloqueo de sonido, “supuestamente”, porque el ruido de motos y demás automóviles se escucha con bastante intensidad.
Los accesos con la app no funcionan para las puertas de entrada.
A veces se perciben olores como a drenaje o a agua estancada.
Elevadores constantemente fuera de servicio: para bajar de los pisos de amenidades he tenido que usar las escaleras porque no estaban disponibles o tardaban más de 10 minutos.
En general, muy decepcionado de la infraestructura del edificio.
Lo que sí destaco es la excelente atención del personal de recepción: Andrés, Diego, Walberto y los demás de quienes aún no sé sus nombres, siempre dispuestos a apoyar y con buena actitud.
Sin embargo, eso no compensa los errores de diseño y operación del lugar.
