Pros:
Nice location. Lots to see, do and eat nearby.
Quiet area.
Very quirky loft with lots of character.
Cons:
The hosts showed up 3 hours later than the agreed check in time, leaving us waiting with our suit cases on the street. They would not reply to messages or pick up phone calls.
Communication was very difficult. They state that they can speak English but they can’t.
The flat smells of cigarets
No toilet paper was provided.
Counters had wine stains on them.
I would be hard pressed to call the sofa a sofa bed. It has a vulgar smell of cigarettes and sweat emanating from it. There is also nothing to support the bottom part of the sofa to make it into a bed.
Rats can be heard clearly scurrying around in the walls and cupboards during the day and particularly at night.
To compensate for the issues, they agreed to let us check out at a later time and simply leave the keys on the counter when we are done.
On the last day however, I kept on getting constant Aggressive messages about when we will be back. This is actually the first time he has been this responsive. Usually he takes days to respond and doesn’t pick up his phone.
When we arrived to pick up our luggage. He had moved our possessions.
I would not recommend staying with Jean and his rude co-host
I would however recommend the restaurant across the street.
