First and foremost I’d like to agree with a few other of the reviews and say we had no not water for the entire duration of our stay. This meant we could not wash properly for the whole time. The boiler was flashing and clearly not working. I reported it immediately but the host did not believe me. I had to get Airbnb support to intervene and finally a plumber was sent (though I never saw them) but the issue wasn’t fixed for the whole duration of our trip. Faster action could have fixed it. My elderly mother had to wash in the kitchen sink using a towel, boiled kettle water and cold water together to have warm water. This was meant to be a special trip for us which we’ve been looking forward to for a long time.
Nice apartment aesthetically but a few design flaws such as no toilet roll holder. You also have to lean into the shower and get soaked to adjust the taps etc. Fairly frequent rumbles from the metro can be heard so take ear plugs. The speaker system is a nice touch.
There’s no air con, which the listing does say, but worth mentioning that it may get very hot in the room during Summer. Just something to be aware of.
It’s a real shame that my experience has been overshadowed by the lack of hot water and being unable to wash. I do not appreciate having to waste time on my trip with back and forth messaging to try and get it fixed. Finally, after complaining for four days, the host agreed to a 50% refund.
