Katerina is a wonderful host. Great communication and also on hand to help with ease and speed.
The apartment is also in a prime location, right in the centre of the old town. A stone throw to the main square and there is so much around you.
The apartment itself was disappointing. Considering how much it cost for one night I was expecting to be paying for a higher end apartment/experience. The pictures are not particularly representative of the actual flat. It’s older and more worn than how fresh, new and glossy the pictures portray.
The apartment smelt stuffy and we had to open the windows immediately upon arrival but the damp smell didn’t leave. There was a large rip in the sofa in the main lounge area.
The shower rooms do not look like how they do in the pictures. Both showers have terrible water pressure, so showering was a chore and not a comfortable experience.
The top bedroom had damp on the walls.
The pillows are very uncomfortable. Felt like clumped together/ broken foam so we weren’t able to have a good night sleep either
The WiFi wasn’t working (although Katerina did offer to get a SIM card so that we could have mobile WiFi in the apartment)
It just didn’t meet the standard of what the pictures portray or what you would expect for £220 for one night. I was happy to pay that price for a single night but I was expecting to stay in an apartment that was nicer than what this actually is.
So the value comes in the location and not from the apartment, unfortunately.
Also, although it is mentioned that parking is an additional price. For that amount for one night and the standard of the apartment, parking should be included
