Found this place on a recommendation from a co-worker, so glad they shared! This flat is conveniently located next to a lot of great restaurants, pharmacies and grocery stores. I’d recommend not packing toiletries and just buying them at the corner store, so much easier! My husband and I walked most places and felt very comfortable- Apple Maps was great.
The flat is for sure cozy and you have no privacy. I’d only recommend this for a single traveler or couple traveling together. Hostess provided a hair dryer, big help and saved me from having to pack one. We provided our own toiletries and had to go buy toilet paper because we couldn’t find extra. Hostess provides towels and the shower was amazing because it got hot fast! I’d only recommend that the host fix the plastic stripping on door, it looks like a bit of glue could help. Bed next to bathroom is super comfy- really, really liked it. We never used the bed in the living room.
If you’re American, the washer/dryer combo is confusing but Hostess sent directions upon request. We still couldn’t figure it out so we never washed clothes. Americans aren’t used to this type of machine and I think it takes experience. There is a little refrigerator in the kitchen with a small stove as well as toaster and electric kettle. We stopped at the grocery store and picked up a few breakfast things and had everything we needed: cups, plates, utensils.
The flat is on the first floor, not to be confused with ground floor so you do need to climb one flight of stairs or take the lift. We never used the lift because the flight of stairs is small. Don’t let the first impression turn you off, the building is old but there is so much charm and flat is perfect value.
Hostess was great: communicates quickly and is really sweet. I had a million questions and she answered every one with no delay.
For Americans: there’s a pharmacy next to flat that will help you with the EU vaccine certificate on the day you arrive and they’ll test you for your return to US. Hostess’ flat is so conveniently located to a lot of things, by the end of our trip, we were feeling like locals. Thank you Cindy!!!!!!
