If there are no other options, you can book it, just read some tips to prepare:
- Water was out 3 times during our 4 day stay, so stock up on drinking water
- Appliances are semi-broken -freezer doesn’t freeze, so don’t buy ice cream; washer machine door handle is broken and you should press a heavy object against it to wash your clothes.
- There is no dryer or a drying rack inside, so allow a night to dry your clothes on radiators
- furniture is so worn inside not in a Parisian chic style, but in “it’s time to be thrown away” style- nothing like photos.
- There are no basic necessities like laundry detergent, salt/sugar, coffee/tea. Bring some with you if you don’t want to buy full size boxes at a local store.
- Don’t lean onto bathroom sink, it’s not secured on the cabinet.
- Apartment was pretty clean at the check in, but after a day water not properly draining in the shower caused moldy stale scent in the apartment.
- Some frying pans provided are not suitable for convection range
