Spacious for two (or two adults with up to two smaller children), clean, and very convenient
to the train station. The neighborhood, although not particularly attractive, seems safe
despite its proximity to the station.
Three issues:
1. Supplies are sparse. In particular, kitchen implements are few and cheap. If you aren’t
using the kitchen, no problem! If you are, you may find it challenging, for instance, to cut a
loaf of bread without a bread knife or to open a bottle of beer or wine without a bottle
opener. You will not want to use the pans lined with decaying Teflon; there are no kitchen
towels and there is no teapot.
2. Safety: A key is needed to lock the apartment from the inside, and so is required to exit as
well as enter the apartment. What is more, even though the front door will lock on its own, a
key will also be needed to exit if someone has turned the lock, as sometimes happens. This is
a fire hazard. You will want to keep this in mind and have one key per person.
3. Although the living room has three large windows, you may find yourself keeping the
curtains closed all the time. That is because they look directly onto the 24/7 street signs (one
flashing) of the parking lot across the narrow street. Above the street signs there are large
hotel windows looking in.
If we hadn’t had such very good luck with other AirB&B apartments, perhaps we would have
been less surprised by
