We stayed in the apartment just over a month. Upon arrival, we went to Alchymista to pick up the keys. The young man working there acted as if he didn’t know what we were talking about when asked for the keys to the Airbnb apartment. Surprised, I asked if he knew Katerina. He said “yes.” I requested that he call her for me. He said her number was turned off. After a 10 minute wait, he apologized saying he was new and gave us the keys. Upon entering the apartment, we removed our shoes. In the kitchen, there was a grocery bag containing a few items that looked as if it had been forgotten. I was unsure whether the items were for the apartment or someone had left them by mistake. In the living room, a painting had fallen down and was on the sofa along with a mess of paint chips. After we put our belongings away, we noticed our white socks were almost black on the bottom. The apartment looked clean and was on the surface. The counter tops, toilets, bathtub and linens were all clean. But the oven, toaster, floors, wardrobe and cabinets were in serious need of a cleaning. Since we were staying for so long, we spent the first full day doing the deep cleaning that the apartment so badly needed. In hindsight, we arrived 1-2 hours ahead of schedule and may have interrupted the cleaning. We never met Katerina, so we aren’t sure. After the first day, the rest of our time was amazing! The apartment had everything we needed and more, including drip coffee pot, French press, quality pots and pans…a well equipped kitchen. The location is excellent. Close to parks to exercise, walking distance to Old Town and the mall. A Billa supermarket that has low prices and is well stocked is a very short (0.3 miles) walk. Many restaurants nearby are ½ price of the tourist area. It was nice to be able to return to an area each night that was not packed with tourists. We stayed in August and the apartment did not get too hot. The windows open for a pleasant cross breeze. We never needed the fan provided. The building was very quiet at night. We did not notice noise from the street at night either. The bed was firm but comfortable. The internet was reliable and a decent speed. I would have given it 5 stars instead of 4 star if it wasn’t for that odd first day. Would we stay here again? Absolutely. We loved this apartment and location!
