In the beginning everything was great and Jerome was very welcoming. Unfortunately there were some problems regarding a broken washing machine and a tv that didn't work. He said that he would fix this during the upcoming days which were fine by us. He also said that he would clean the apartment a little better and remove some of his personal products considering that we were going to stay 3 months in this apartment. For a couple of days we didn't hear from him at all until he came with the new washing machine and deposed of the old one in the courtyard of the building. We found out later that evening that this also wasn't working and we contacted him as soon as we knew. He said that he would fix this in the upcoming days but that he had borrowed this from his friend and pretty much blamed him. This was the last thing we heard from him considering the washing machine, the tv and clearing some space for us. He only came by once more to grab his tennis racket but once again blamed his friend for lending him a broken washing machine. When we about a month later ran in to him on the street he said that he hadn't received any messages since his phone was stolen even though we wrote to him through AirBnb. Overall Jerome was very friendly and welcoming but as soon as there were any problems he disappeared quickly and became unreachable.
The apartment was in a rather bad shape and felt more like a place where he disposed of old furniture with a bad quality. There were no knives to use for cooking nor a cutting board. There were also problems with the heating system meaning that you couldn't take a shower at the same time as the radiators were turned on, even if you turned of the radiators you were never sure if there actually would be hot water. For a shorter stay this might work but for a three month stay this was troublesome. The front door only had one simple lock that didn't work great nor was very sturdy so if you wanted to you could easily break in. The door itself was very thin so you could also hear the neighbors at all times and they could hear you. Next door to the apartment was a gym where they usually blasted loud music from early in the morning to late in the evening. So there was no idea trying to sleep past 9 o'clock. Since there were also group training there the apartment itself would vibrate from the regular exercises.
Disregarding these unfortunate events the stay was rather good. The neighbors were nice and the location was great.
