I gave 4 stars with my reasoning being as followed
- Age of building: The flat is said to be renovated but this is mostly done on the surface. Throughout the flat as well as the building in general, you see that it actually is older with the various characteristics that come with it (e.g., a slightly funny smell whenever you don‘t have the windows open)
- Quality of the amenities: Everything was new but it didn‘t seem to be of high quality, which we especially felt to be true for the mattrasses and the couch.
- Noise: The flat was incredible loud at night, even with windows closed. All three of us have been living in city centers for multiple years but even we had difficulties sleeping.
- Home feeling: The place was more like a hotel room than an AirBnB home. Nothing that made us feel at home and very sterile.
Of course, all of this is personal style and preferences. Many people probably don‘t care for those things and then this place is perfect:
- Location: The place is directly in the city center. All great food options are within 5 minutes by foot. So is the train station and many of the sights.
- Communication: Communication was perfect. We received answers nearly instantly whenever we would write something and all information was comprehensive and correct.
- Check in: We arrived at night and managed key handover through a nearby keycafe. This went very smoothly and was explained perfectly.
