We were delighted with the location, with close proximity to cafes, restaurants and museums. The apartment was tastefully decorated and on the first two days, the hosts have been warm and friendly, and gave us some suggestions on places and galleries to visit.
However, we were surprised to find that the two bedrooms had no closets or drawers, causing difficulty for three people who were staying for eight nights.
The guidelines in the folder said that we were "totally welcome to cook at our place and use all utensils / dishes ...". So, we were shocked at what happened on the fourth night. Because I could not start the stove, I knocked twice at Alexandra's room to ask her help. When she eventually came out, she angrily asked what I was doing. I answered that I was doing some simple cooking. She retorted that it was still cooking, implying that I should not cook in her apartment. Later, she said she didn't want to be disturbed while she was working. She also told my husband that she normally had people staying for one or two nights, suggesting that she didn't expect people to cook in the kitchen.
Thereafter Alexandra and her husband seemed to retreat to their room and we did the same.
