Check-in instructions were incorrect. I had to search for a small key box at the bottom of a bike rack on a busy street corner, then weave through locked up bikes and scooters to get to the key, all while making sure my bags stayed with me.
The front door of the apartment has a difficult lock. The floors of the apartment were gritty with dirt and there was visible dust in every space. The wine glasses were too dirty to use so they had to be washed first. There was an old sponge on the kitchen sink that smelled bad. The inside of the refrigerator smelled like something had rotted. There was visible grime in the bathtub.
We were told that the hot water tank was small, but it was not possible for two people to take conservative hot showers. The description mentions the loft bed, but the ceiling is very low and you need to take care moving around and getting up and down the ladder.
Overall the apartment included the bare minimum of amenities: two towels per person, toilet paper, and clean sheets.
Although the apartment is quiet as far as street noise, it is ground level next to the front door of the building so you hear everyone coming and going through the door, then up and down the stairs or elevator. A metro line runs under the building so it makes noise through the early morning hours.
We have stayed in a number of AirBnB properties in the U.S. and Europe, large and small. By far, this was the worst experience we have had. For the amount of money spent, we could have gone to a hotel but decided to do something “local”.
I can not recommend this place to anyone.
