For the location, Niko’s place is a great place at this value. We only stayed one night here for a quick layover and got to check out a lot of the old town.
To get to the apartment in the building, you have to go up one set of stairs and we were a bit confused at first because we thought it was on the same floor as the entrance. Since we came during the night, everything was dark. You have to press a light button to turn on the lights to the lobby. They’ve got little orange light indicators.
In the apartment, there are 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, and several other rooms with guests. The kitchen seemed to be a great and well equipped space but we didn’t use it during our stay. The bathroom directly across our room was larger than expected with 2 sinks. We didn’t shower during our stay so can’t comment on that.
Niko gives 2 sets of keys: one for the building and one for the room along with a passcode to get into the apartment. The room key is a clunky brass thing which is pretty cool.
The only complaint we had was the smell of the room. It smelled like clothes that were washed and didn’t dry correctly. A bit mildewy and dank. Not sure if it’s the way things are washed, an issue with the carpet, or the proximity to the bathroom, but that was at the forefront of our minds during our stay. For a night, this was fine especially for the price and the location. Can’t win everything 🤷🏻‍♀️
Thank you, Niko!
