Headline: AC doesn’t work.
Details: Had a few bumps with this stay, it wasn’t clean when we arrived (old bedding and towels on the floor), but we changed our plans and left for a few hours while the host quickly fixed this, no biggie. Later we learned the AC didn’t ACTUALLY work, it turned on (as in the light in the unit) but didn’t actually blow any air. In the winter this is probably not a big deal, but it was rough for the summer. We tried opening the windows which did cool the space, but given the rain also let in a ton of mosquitoes. After looking more closely through the reviews, the AC problem seems to be a pattern, the host will send “fixes” to try, but the AC still won’t blow— or we couldn’t get it too after trying every setting. I do realize AC is uncommon in these older parts of Europe, but that’s why I specifically sought out and paid more for a unit with AC, so it was a big disappointment for it to not work. There was also glass all over the stairs (to the 4th floor) for a few days, but I don’t fault the host for this.
The bed and pillows were comfortable enough. The space it’s self was fine, the chairs don’t fit the table haha so you can’t really use it (they’re waaaayyyyyy too low). Overall for the price if the AC worked I think the value would be good. It’s not luxurious but it’s fine if you’re out most of the day.
The neighborhood I liked a lot, and found very convenient to many things, that said it is sort of a “red light”/ prostitution district, so women, expect to be looked at like you could be paid for a few hours of services lol.
The host is very communicative and will send ample instructions to ensure you can get into the space, even if they are not there.
