The idea of this apartment is great - arty loft, great neighborhood, terraces and balconies. But the actual experience was pretty mediocre. The 1 1/2 bathrooms don’t really live up to contemporary standards. The downstairs bathroom is small and airless and the simple shower makes a mess no matter what you do. It was hard to keep the bathroom from smelling and maybe there is some plumbing issue. The upstairs 1/2 bath is more like a utility bathroom with a deep stainless sink more for craft projects and no ventilation or insulation. The bedrooms are small and the beds not high quality. They shrieked and made noises and couldn’t sleep well. The living space is the clear highlight of the apartment but even so it is lacking. One rickety couch and one chair and one impractical fragile coffeetable = hard to sit around for a chat. The apartment has lots of light but not a great view - the front looks directly into a medical facility (hospital? Assisted care?) so if you dare look out all you see is the nursing care of the elderly. Kind of spooky especially since not all the shades closed easily. One big part of windows doesn’t have shades at all so if you want a bit of dark in the living area to rest or watch something on iPad (note: no tv) you will struggle.
Communication with hosts was only ok. Had lots of back and forth on heat (we gave up) and on departure we’re accused of leaving a huge mess when in reality it was one broken candle that fell from the rickety coffeetable (genuinely sorry! Of course offered to pay!). We paid an extra cleaning fee , levied because they claimed we broke a fridge shelf (absolutely not true - it was wobbly when we arrived and wobbly when we left) and because we washed and changed our own sheets during the four day stay - which was necessary because we slept dressed due to lack of radiator heat.
All in all this was one of the more disappointing air bnb’s I’ve stayed at the space is nice in theory but the execution is impractical and specifically the bathrooms and bedrooms simply aren’t up to standard. Would consider going back after a renovation but not before.
