We were generally happy with what the apartment had but we felt that more could be done to spruce up the place.
On the first night, one of the portable heaters caught fire so we contacted Alex who responded quickly and dropped off brand new heaters which were very powerful and kept us warm. The apartment does not have a central heating system - only portable heaters so the place was cold as we came during winter. One of the toilets also does not have a portable heater which was a problem especially after showering. We come from a country that has a tropical climate so we wished the apartment would have more heaters to keep us warm.
The apartment is quite worn and dirty. The furniture looks old and there was trash in the bin leftover from the previous occupant. We found used tissues that looked mouldy in between the seats of the sofa. The cushions on the sofa were also torn, there was a lot of dust under the beds and there were some stains on the bedsheets. One of us also had some bed bug bites from the bed. The pillows are also really thin which gave us neck pain.
The place definitely needs to be cleaned thoroughly and revamped. Other than that, we were happy with the location and the large space.
