The flat is very well located and generally very clean, however there were a few small issues. There was left over food in the fridge when we arrived, some mould on the walls in places and the wardrobes smell quite musty which meant we didn’t really want to house our clothes in there. The bathroom door is also very difficult to shut and you can see that it has suffered some damage.
As we were on an 8 week trip we booked this place because it had a washing machine, however unfortunately the washing machine was broken during our visit, which we only found out when we tried to use it. This meant we had to pay to wash our clothes at a launderette and spent a rather sunny afternoon there, which was a little frustrating.
We did also have one other issue where my partner lost a precious necklace behind the headboard, which is attached to the wall and virtually impossible to get behind. We reached out to Hubert to see if there was anything he could do to help us as my partner was in tears. At first he seemed annoyed and accused us of pulling the headboard away from the wall. 1. I am not strong enough to do this and 2. I would never damage someone’s property. This was not a very nice response when we were merely asking for help. Having said that, Hubert did then agree to come over and help in trying to retrieve the necklace, which he did. My partner and I are extremely grateful for this.
Many people have had very good stays here, so I think we were just unlucky with how much we needed to reach out to the host. There are lots of good things about this apartment.
