This is a studio apartment with bare-minimums more like a hotel. Very functional and easy clean due to small space and small amount of furniture. However, we were very disappointed with the cleanliness. It was clear that the kitchen and bathroom were not appropriately wiped down – evidenced by hair and dust everywhere: bathroom, kitchen counters, kitchen drawers and even the refrigerator (seriously). There was a half-bottle coke and an almost empty jar of jam left in the refrigerator from the previous guest. After seeing dust and leftovers in the fridge, we even had to ask if at least the bed sheets and towels were clean. When we informed her about the hair, dust and left over food in the fridge, her response was "sorry if a few hair was left, the rule is to leave the left over food from the previous guest untouched" Did not quite understand this rule, however after seeing hair on knives, we decided to use disposable plates and utensils.
Her tone in communications changes after we brought up the cleanliness issue. Instead of being apologetic, she was sarcastic. I did not have a phone with a data plan so I would email her at evenings once we came to the apartment. When I couldn't reply her multiple emails about leaving the key to the mailbox, she got very upset. The instructions for delivery of the key should have been addressed when we checked in, since it was as simple as saying drop in the mailbox.
The studio apartment faces the side street – although it’s a not a busy street, the windows provided little to no noise reduction and thanks to the vent on the wall we could clearly hear the passing cars , kids at the kindergarten across the street and even people walking in high heels . On the positive side, there is a small market immediately next to the apartment and it’s located about a 10 minute walk to the metro station.
