I recently stayed in Jane’s apartment with three friends. The apartment is in a fabulous location – a little quiet haven, but close to everything Including the metro line, fabulous cafes, and a supermarket. As others mentioned, there are a lot of stairs and no lift, which some people may have to take into consideration.
The apartment is just as pictured, with beautiful design throughout. There are two air conditioning units which kept the living areas lovely and cool throughout our stay although the bedrooms struggled to cool down to the same degree. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you might need. There’s a full-size fridge, small dishwasher, oven, hotplates and microwave, and plenty of crockery and cutlery. The dining area is under a low ceiling, so tall people need to watch their heads.
The living area is light and spacious with a fantastically comfortable white couch. It marks easily, and guests are charged for marks, so inspect it carefully upon arrival including removing all cushions to inspect behind them. There are two double bedrooms and a single room with a trundle bed which are very comfortable. There’s not a lot of storage or headroom, and the owner requests no shoes are stored in the bedrooms and no furniture or objects are moved at all. We would definitely not recommend the apartment to families with young children.
We were surprised to be given a short-term rental agreement to sign at check-in, with an 11-page inventory of the apartment. The rental rules are comprehensive and strict, and the cleaner inspects the apartment mid-way through the stay.
Jane responds to messages quickly and the check-in procedure was very smooth – except for the unexpected rental agreement, which we also had to explicitly request to keep a copy. While the apartment is lovely, and location outstanding, being surrounded by expensive furniture and delicate knick knacks and being checked on by the cleaner meant our stay was not very relaxing, which was a shame.
