The check-in experience was disappointing. After misreading the instructions and finally arriving at the correct entrance (because the apartment building has 4 separate entrances) we rang the buzzer as instructed, at which point nothing happened and Margaryta stopped responding. We were left outside for 20 minutes before a stranger held the door for us. Had this not happened we would not have been let in for another 4 hours, when Margaryta returned. We did not receive a reply from the host until the next morning, and had to hope that we had let ourselves into the correct room. When asked about this the next morning, her response was not apologetic and told us to read the instructions, of course that didn’t change the fact that no one was there to let us in.
The apartment itself was clean but cluttered and there was an anti-vax propaganda poster stuck to the wall. The bed very loud, every movement caused it to creak, and there was a duvet cover without a duvet. In addition we were told to ensure that the heating was off.
Overall it was a place to stay, it was clean, provided what we needed, but not worth what we paid. Margaryta does her own thing and you share the house with her. We were lucky to have been let in, otherwise we would’ve had to go to a hotel because there was no indication of when she would let us in. On the a positive note, it is very close to lots of public transportation, including trams and buses which come very regularly.
Would recommend unless you are low on options, as we were.
