The apartment is in a touristy area which was great for us because it put us close everything we wanted to see and the metro.
Nadia's daughter met us to give us the key and show us around the apartment. She told us the dryer (and possibly the washer) wasn't functioning. This was disappointing as we had specifically looked for an airbnb with a washer since we were in the middle of a 13 day European visit and needed to wash our clothes. We were also told that the dishwasher didn't work. Not a big deal for us because we planned on eating out for most meals.
Apartment was warm and cozy. Bathroom was nice and spacious. Bedroom was a good size. Bed was okay, pillows were not very comfortable.
We stayed a Saturday through Wednesday, and it was generally very quiet. However, you can hear people coming up and down the stairway from inside the apartment. Also, one night we heard a baby crying from about 9:30 to 10:30 while we were in bed. Not a big deal, but if you're sensitive to noise, you might want earplugs.
The first night we came back from dinner and could not get the key to work. I messaged Nadia, but after about 10 minutes of working at it, we managed to open the door. I immediately messaged Nadia that all was good and we had gotten in. Nadia showed up the next morning and let herself into the apartment to check on us and if the key worked....it seemed like she didn't understand my prior message saying we got the key to work. Communication barrier was an issue.
The night before we checked out, at 8:50pm, Nadia sent messages asking me to call her about check out. I did not receive these messages until I got back to the apartment from dinner and had wifi access. I have an American phone so cannot make calls nor have phone service all the time. I messaged her immediately upon return to the apartment to tell her I just received all of her messages and cannot call her but would be out by checkout time.
Of the several times I've used airbnb, this was the first time the host had let herself into the apartment and been so persistent/pushy in messaging about checkout.
