Pros:
- host was kind and accommodating
- comfortable bed and clean bedding
- hot shower
- beautiful old building. the apartment has charming architecture.
- quiet and courtyard facing
- great neighborhood
Cons:
- no basic cooking ingredients (olive oil, salt or pepper). difficult to cook very simple meals.
- decor and furniture isn’t very welcoming or cozy (all very cheap). The decor was strangely sparse while the layout of furniture made the apartment feel more cramped than necessary.
Overall our stay was nice enough. The apartment was clean, quiet and warm throughout the rainy and cold weather. The basics are generally all accounted for and the apartment is accurately represented in the listing.
But because the apartment is really lacking the warm inviting decor and personal touches that usually make Airbnb great - I don’t think we would stay here again. With a little bit of redesigning and love, this listing could be a real gem.
