Starting with the good parts… Zeb was a great host, it was very easy to pick up the keys to check in and check out again. We also got late check out which was so handy as we could leave our cases while we explored the city for a final time.
Also, the airport transfer was very handy as it brought us straight to the apartment, however we ended up using Uber on the way home and it was €12 cheaper.
The location is fabulous, 2 minutes walk from the tram station or 15 mins walk to all the main places.
The bedrooms were very big and bright and perfect for 3 of us staying.
The shower was very powerful and enjoyable to use.
The apartment was warm at all times and there was always hot water.
However there were a few points to note that could be improved.
The beds are very very uncomfortable, very hard and woke up with a sore back each morning. The covers are single sheets and there’s only one pillow which is disappointing. The listing also says there are plenty of towels, however we were only given 3 between us all.
The apartment had not been cleaned before we arrived, there was dust and dirt everywhere including empty boxes of tea bags. the fridge also could have done with a clean. This was disappointing as we did not expect this, especially during COVID times, good hygiene is important.
While I appreciate the apartment is very cheap for the location, I feel like a decent mattress and an acceptable standard of cleaning is the minimum to expect for any airbnb listing.
Finally, the rooms are deceiving, while they are big they don’t look like the images. There are wardrobes broken in each room. There are also cupboard doors missing in the kitchen. The apartment needs some TLC.
Finally, while the shower was powerful, the shower head was so low down you literally had to crouch down to be under the water which was very uncomfortable. It would be very easy to add some screws to add the shower head to a better height.
