The apartment is not suitable for renting out in the winter months. When we arrived, it was 13 deg. C in there and no hot water (we waited 45 minutes for the boiler to heat it). The bathroom is not heated and the window doesn't have a handle (cannot be closed at all). There is a gap around the window and cold air blows into all the time.
I would have expected the host to heat the apartment (and water) before guests arrival.
The windows are not tight and the one in the small bedroom could not be closed at all (broken handle) and therefore the room could not be heated. The kitchen and the corridor are not heated and have a concrete floor which is really cold. The apartment lacks maintenance: the handles for the blinds are not attached to the wall, the window handles do not work, the toilet leaks, the sofa is torn, the table top is not fastened. There is a thick layer of dust on the shelves in the bathroom. No hot water in kitchen and therefore the dishes are poorly washed.
