Some positive; mostly negative – sorry.
We had a big problem finding the place. The uber dropped us off at a place with the address that we were given. We spent an hour looking round, asking people. We checked the address on google maps, and it pointed to where the uber dropped us. We then called the host, who told us to use uber and put in the address. We explained that we had done that. After a while they called back and gave us another address. A second uber then took us to the correct area, but we still had to walk among buildings and across a play area. So, if you go to the apt to stay, make sure that you get the correct address. We reckon that it took us three hours from the train station to get into the apt.
The apt is totally unsuitable for four people. The photos gave the impression of a huge apt, with plenty of space, but when we arrived, it was very small – much too small for four people. The apt should not be advertised for four people, not even two adults and children.
Bathroom: Bathmat is not a mat, but more like a thin towel; Bath tap stiff to turn and set temp (water suddenly changes temp by itself); The edge of the bath is very high and somewhat dangerous getting out, esp as there is no rail to hang on to. We only got one towel each. In toilets the water spray holder is loose (so we did not use the holder).
Kitchen: Ventilation not working; hob light not working; toaster not working; vegetable steamer is broken.
No table to have meals, just a small wobbly camping table, less than 50cm diameter.
Uncomfortable chairs. Sofa is very uncomfortable to sleep in. No international TV channels (youtube stopped working on first use). Wifi is very slow. The bed in the bedroom is smaller than a standard double; despite that it reached almost fully across the width of the bedroom. Also, only one side to get into bed. Co cloths space (eg, small cupboard) in the bedroom.
Be careful of upstairs neighbours, who slammed the building entrance door on us. (We were waiting quietly just behind them as they were opening the door.)
The overall impression that we got was that the host’s prime goal was to make as much money as possible, and not to make people feel welcome. This impression comes from some of the things above and from the fact that you have to pay, in advance, to get the code that will unlock the washing machine electric plug, wrapped in a plastic box and steal cables and a lock. Also from a comment somewhere that the host will check up on your water use and charge you if you use too much (without actually saying how much one can use). Given all the above, we think that the apt is over-priced, especially given its distance to town. We were not comfortable in the apt, we felt cramped.
The apt is close to a small supermarket and to the tram to go into town. The apt was clean. It is also quiet, but one morning we were woken, early by the terrible noise of a large mower just outside.
Of course, the host will be tempted to do a reply to this that attempts to negate what we have said and to write us off as bad guests. That would be a pity as it might lend weight to what we have said. We rarely write bad reviews.
