Beautiful aesthetically, but we felt like Homeless people sleeping on the street, albeit in a warm, modern, pretty, refurbished "doorway". The place is not sound proofed AT ALL. You can hear all traffic/people, as if you were outside. It was slightly less noisy in the basement, where I slept with my 2 daughters in one bed, the 2nd night. A van was parked for 2hrs, engine on, slamming doors every 10mins and chatting from 1am-3am.
Other recommendations to fix:
- Change pillows - some smelt of cigarettes - It's supposed to be non-smoking...
- The water tank only has hot water for 2 showers at a time - but it sleeps 4 people...?
- Larger curtains upstairs to cover the whole "shop" front window and outside glass door of the flat
- Add an internal curtain or blind to the back window so there's some privacy. We had to keep the external blind constantly shut. No light.
- Lock the internal door that goes into the actual building hallway. It looked just closed / not actually locked. Doesn't feel safe.
- Be more generous with the coffee capsules, like in other Airbnb flats who provide them for all occupants and the whole stay (3 wasn't enough for us). No one will buy them in stores if they don't have a similar coffee machine at home.
Otherwise, it's beautiful and brand new and well equipped (although the shower room is REALLY small), but isn't it the point to be able to sleep there? Won't be coming back, sadly.
