Upon landing after 7.5 hours of delays throughout the day, I was greeted by an anonymous male on the phone when dutifully calling Jan upon arrival. As the name was never clear, I will hitherto refer to himself as ‘Dan’. When delivering our exact Uber ETA to Dan, I was asked why we are so late. Lovely. I told him we were given the usual excuses that an airline provides. He would not accept this response, and forced me not once but twice more to explain myself for my lateness. This was despite the fact that upon each delay, while it was being read out at the terminal, I was corresponding ASAP to Jan, doing my absolute best to mitigate everyone’s inconveniences. This conversation then continued to ‘happy to have you back again’ to which I clarified this was my first stay. This was also met with argument, and again not once but more than three times until I eventually gave up. Apparently my body can travel without my knowing, and the evidence of this was “on the computer”. However when we arrived, said computer appeared to have been checked, not that the host apologised for his behaviour. During this conversation, it came to light that we had made Dan late for his theatre appointment that evening. I would suggest the hosts consider a different key delivery method as they may not be suited to customer service.
The apartment itself is modern, but shy bladders should be aware that the bathroom is sealed by sliding doors, between the bedroom and front door. We also noted that there was different furniture (couch) and appliances (missing coffee machine, additional microwave) which were not accurately shown in photos.
Another note for light sleepers - while the glazing is sufficient for weeknights, the street noise (and at one point, night constriction) will come into the room.
The location was undeniably central and convenient. The apartment modern and delightfully colourful and clean. However due to the factors described, I can not recommend this stay and do not plan to return.
