I was thinking for quite a while what to write since I wanted to be honest, yet not offend the host. Let’s start from the pros:
1. Great location! Very central, very quiet, very beautiful. Quite close to metro and buses, has a nice supermarket nearby.
2. Awesome self check in option and a working elevator were definitely a nice thing to have.
3. Laura, one of the hosts, gave us free tickets to the Mozart Orchestra concert. That was fantastic!
Now the cons:
1. I was traveling with my friend, so I was obviously looking for a place that had two beds. This one did according to the flat description. Imagine my surprise when I walked into the apartment and found out that there was only one bed prepared for us! Of course, there was a sofa in the kitchen. But there were no sheets or blankets for it. I contacted the host about it, yet nothing happened. For three days me and my friend had to sleep in one little bed. At this point I kind of got furious, because we are paying at least 20% more for a second bed and aren’t able to use it. Any beautiful and very new (!) studio for one would’ve been much cheaper.
2. The heating. Safe to say there was none. It was freezing cold in the apartment and we couldn’t do anything. We tried controlling the heat via the heat panel but nothing worked.
3. The cleanliness. The host charged us €32 per cleaning fee. Yet the apartment wasn’t quite clean at all. My socks immediately became dirty as I walked into the apartment. The shower was also not very clean and smelled a bit like mold. For this price of cleaning I’d expect a little bit more of a quality.
4. Sleep quality. The bed was OK, but they think that bugged me is that the place doesn’t have a proper curtain. I’m not even saying black out, at least a proper one that would keep the light off your face. We had trouble going to sleep because there was quite a lot of light shining in our faces.
All in all, I would say that the property isn’t worth the money for me. Overall the host in the location were very lovely but the cons made the stay very uncomfortable.
