The good:
- great location
- spacious flat
- clean
- comfortable bed
- large wardrobe if you want to unpack
- affordable rates for the area
The bad:
- quite loud. I didn't mind the street as much as the staircase. The "wall" on that side is really just glazed windows, you can hear neighbours talking in the hallway all day and night.
- equipment is quite basic and lots of it was broken: pots with no handles; broken coat rack that fell on me; thin, tiny and discoloured towels; thin duvets with no extra blankets... Microwave didn't work.
- worst of all, the washing machine left my clothes still dirty and completely waterlogged, no matter how many spin cycles I ran. I ended up spending nearly 30 euros at the nearby laundromat.
- unreliable communication – I never heard back when I raised the issues above. I'm very appreciative that I could get an early check-in but I only got a response after asking 3 times. Most messages seemed automated reminders (including a bit of a guilt trip demanding a five-star review).
So overall, a middle-of-the road airbnb experience. Certainly not terrible, but not good enough for 5 stars.
