Place is in the attractive location with good commute from the airport. Is located close to the museums, parties and luxury shops. Also it's is fairly clean. Has nice wallpapers too. Contact with the host was ok (advised on the commute to the apartment but suggested to buy detergents for laundry).
Overall apartment looks nice and checks off many amenities like AC or laundry but functionality is not there :(.
Apartment was hot and the AC seems to not be suitable for the space. Setting: cool, max fan, 16C for the whole day, was making a space "less hot", whereas one would expect "freezing cold".
Bathroom: Shower is frustrating, it leaks outside, poorly drained, basket falls down, same for soap on the wall (glue doesn't hold) and there is a mold and it smells like mold. There is no shelf in the bathroom... Nothing to put skincare on and no hook for towels or clothing. One must use radiator to put a towel on... Also I think there is a limited hot water, one evening I used it up and had to finish in the cold water and my husband had to wait for the water to heat up.
Amenities: apartment lists washing machine, but in reality the washing machine is in the basement and apartment has no detergents. At the time, there was a rat in the basement.
Kitchen: no sitting area in kitchen, tap is set badly, so each time you splash water everywhere. Also, cabinets are so low and deep that it's hard to prepare a meal in this kitchen. All tools were counted and listed, which was a but puny.
Notes left around the apartment with information "do not sit on me" or informing about the potential fine or to not play with the heater settings, made the place rather hostile. Cups were very limited, same for toilet paper, we had to buy our own...
