If you want to be near Old Town and most of the touristy areas, this is the place to be. The home is a true two bedroom place, with two large beds. I loved that there was a mall across the street with a cute coffee shop and all the amenities you missed there for your buying needs. The host was very communicative and kind, and I couldn’t have asked for better communication when anything was needed.
Unfortunately we had some cons: our train arrived at 5:30 in the afternoon and had told the host we would be there at 6:00. When we got there he wasn’t there and was running ten minutes behind which is perfectly fine. What was a bit disappointing was the house cleaners were not finished yet at 6:15pm. We were walked up to the home and the cleaning ladies still needed another 30-45 minutes to finish, so we just kinda sat around waiting for this process to be complete. After a long day of travel, this was a little annoying.
I had purposely booked a two bedroom because we needed two bedrooms but when the cleaning ladies finished, one bed was left unmade because they assumed that the two guests would only need one bedroom. If I had wanted 1 bedroom, I would have booked a smaller place. When I asked why the bed didn’t have pillows and blankets, she went into the other bedroom and took one pillow and one blanket and took it to the bare bedroom.
Amenities were very scarce. One towel per person for a 4 day stay isn’t up to my expectations. When traveling, and no laundry, you would hope there’s more than one. We also ran out of toilet paper.
The towels also looked extremely old.
Couple other things to note:
1. There’s really no elevator that will lead you to your floor. You will have to use the stairs for your suitcase. I am lucky to have help but this could be difficult for an elder traveling.
2. It is a “two” bathroom but one bathroom is only for showering and only one has a toilet. There are not two toilets.
3. Window in living room was broken (glass) so there were some flies in the home.
I think the hosts have a beautiful space and can really change this into a 5 star place with a few extra attention to details.
Thank you!!
