IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO KNOW:
- The owner doesn't say it but once arrived in the building, you will have to climb all the stairs up to the last floor to pick up the key in a box for which you'll receive a code the day before the check-in (so leave your luggages, baby trolley, kids or the eldest who accompany you downstairs, or if you are old just choose another place) then you'll see a badge with the keys that opens the elevator, then you'll also need to badge inside to activate it....and now here we go, you can go back downstairs and pick up everyone and all your luggages.
- the apartment is more like a huge apartment that has been split into many apartments and/or rooms, so you easily hear other people talking from the other rooms.
1/Negative things :
- Communication wasn't great, I asked the owner where approximately is located the apartment so I could organize my trip and how to get the key (if I need to pick somewhere or not before arriving) and he just copied and pasted many times the same answers which doesn't answer clearly to my questions.... I thought it was an automatic answer and had almost cancelled the reservation, until he answered differently but yet still not to my questions.
I guess he didn't say, because some people could cancel or not rent the apartment if they had the information in advance.
It should be precised in the descriptions of the apartment or in the private chat so it would avoid old people or people with baby/children to walk all the stairs up with everything for nothing.
- It's not a 2 bedrooms, but 1 bedroom and 1 living room that contains 1 bed. As the kitchen is in the corridors, so it's not what I call "American kitchen" (reminder, the definition of it is : a kitchen that is in the same room as the living room). But it didn't bother me as I don't eat there.
- No a/c but only 1 fan for 1 room, so beware during summer time if it's too hot, you'll sweat. We've been lucky it was not too hot, but I would have preferred to have one fan in the second room because I left the only one to the one who was with me
- There was only 1 toilet paper roll for 2 people and for 2 nights...Better not having a stomachache, or not pooping too much.
- Problem with the door of the shower, it's somehow "broken", hard to make the left side hold. And not enough pressure for the water flow.
- Not a real problem, but more our point of view, there could have been more than one towel each. as we are women, we would have preferred one big and one small for each.
2/ Positive things :
- I did some Airbnbs and this one was one of the cleanest I've been in
- It's very well located, next to the Intercontinental hotel, so easy to walk around the city and to Belvedere palace
- There is lot of space
- Beds are huges and confortables
So in all and for all, it's still a good quality-price apartment, which I would recommend.
