Lots of big 'Plusses' and a few 'Minuses' at Apartment 3 on Celetna.
The positives : You cannot beat this location. Very safe place and sweet guys working at the very convenient store downstairs. Close to everything. Brilliant ! Spacious apartment with super high ceilings. Great beds. Plenty of warmth and hot water. Coffee, tea, shampoo, conditionner, towels, soap etc. as needed. Easy check-in/out and someone on the premises from 7 am to 7 pm which was so appreciated! Nataly is very friendly and Josef answers back at the speed of light! We were very happy there and would definitely consider renting again.
That being said, there were a few minuses.
First, the noise. Celetna is a very busy street and you do hear the street noise even with the shutters closed. The building also welcomes families and there are very lively children living on the premises. We had the misfortune of staying for 2 weeks in front of other guests who had a baby from hell. A little girl in her 'terrible 2s' who kept howling and tantrum-throwing and the parents would let her do so in the hall for all to hear. Even when inside their apartment, we heard the baby crying very loudly, so bring some earplugs and tons of patience!
The apartment is also victim of its popularity and could use a spring cleaning and some TLC. Quite a bit of 'wear and tear' on the floors and walls, some stains, heater's panels in the bathroom were falling apart, so were all doorknobs, the bottom drawer in the main bedroom's closet was broken and the kitchen sink's 'safety hole' was not connected to a pipe. Windows and shutters were also hard to open and close. The apartment does not look as pristine as on the photos and I did miss the colourful decoration (carpets/pillows/flower pots/chairs) as displayed on the pictures of the main bedroom in the ad as well.
Also, there is no washer/dryer inside the apartment, but there is access to it in the building upon demand. The kitchen has 2 heating plates but no oven. Nice shower in the bathroom but no bathtub.
Finally, the TV could be upgraded to a better and bigger model. Some issues with the "Apple TV" also : we could not sign into Prime Videos, BBC app said : "cannot be watched outside of Great Britain", ABC app needed to be updated and 2 other non-working apps said : "check with your internet provider". CNN/HBO and other international channels required an actual personal account, so we could not watch "real TV", except for a few 2 minute clips. We wound up watching Netflix on someone else's account (Thanks Lynn!!) and could have accessed several others (history not erased; settings not reset). All log-in emails on Amazon Prime could be seen as well. Told Josef, he said he would look into it, but this issue was not fixed during our stay.
Great printed guides left for the guests (but could use fresher copies) and trash bags should be substituted for functional ones (impossible to open and would tear up easy).
Hubby thought the bed comforters were too small, but I was fine with it.
Overall, not a perfect place, but very "homey", beautifully located, comfortable and with soul. We were happy there and I miss it ! (But not the Baby!!)
