Helene’s apartment is close to many restaurants, cafes, and parks. It was easy to get to from the airport and to navigate around the city. It’s very clean and well-maintained, and was warm in the winter.
After arriving, we learned that the front door is directly accessed from the street (not two layers of doors or inside an apartment building) and has one single lock (no deadbolt, no chain). Early on our last morning, someone tried multiple times to kick in the door and break in. We were terrified and left the apartment after filing a police report.
Helene was very helpful and obviously had nothing to do with our negative experience, but it was the worst travel experience I’ve ever had.
