We had a bad arrival suprise. Line (Marie) had told us that check in time is 17:00 in the afternoon! We had learned this after our booking so we had to spend many hours at a cafe. But when we arrived to get the keys from the downstairs shop's owner Walid, he said that check in time is 19:00! When we told our agrrement he rudely said "This is not a hotel!" We didn't feel welcome at all. He was angry at Line (Marie) also. He said "I am the manager of this place. How can she organise it this way etc"
We were very suprised and confused.
The building and the stairs were very very dirty. So the first impression was not good. Stairs are almost scary at night. There is no light in the building.
The pictures of the apartment are photoshoped I believe. The actual place looks a lot older. But it was alright and cleanliness was ok. We had to put two sheets on the beds because they looked dirty, old and stained.
I don't believe that anybody lives in this apartment. At first we thought it was Line's apartment decorated lovingly. It is kind of some old stuff put together to prepare an apartment to rent.
The area is very central and the view is nice.
