The good:
The apartment is in a very nice area with lots of cafes, restaurants and metro stations within walking distance. Sylvie responded quickly and was accomodating with our late arrival and departure. The instructions for self-check in were excellent.
The bad:
The apartment is A LOT more rundown than it looks in the pictures. The kitchen cabinets are blistered and scratched. The cabinets are filled with food and sometimes diry dishes (like a crusty muffin form). The dishwasher had not been cleaned for a very long time. Shelves in the bathroom hang from the wall at such a tentative angle that we didn’t dare to put anything onto them. The bedroom is tiny, and its one window opens onto the lane behind at street-level.
The ugly:
The once-white sofa that I slept on is not white any more, it is now discolored, parts of it yellowed or gray, and the pillows are torn on the underside. Overall, it looks like one of those couches that people put out on the sidewalk and is frankly disgusting. The new „mattress“ is barely 10 cm high and rests on a saggy frame.
Overall, the flattering pictures overpromise, and the apartment is overprized for the state that it is now in.
