I originally booked this flat for 19 nights, but ended up leaving after 5. Although Dina is very accommodating, I do not recommend this flat for long stays or if you have to work while you’re there.
Having read so many positive comments on the cleanliness of the flat, I was surprised to find hairs in the bathroom, shower and under the desk. The coffee machine hadn’t been cleaned either.
Before booking, I asked about the internet speed, as both my partner and I had to work while staying here. I was told it was 14.1 mbps, but while there we got between 6-12 mbps. It wasn’t until it completely crashed before an important meeting that we realised the router was in the host’s flat upstairs and we were getting wi-fi through an extender. So the internet is not reliable.
The flat is advertised as newly renovated, and it might have been at one point, but that’s not the case as I write this review. The tap and shower head are old and scratched, the kitchen tap is loose, the washing machine leaks in the garden, the appliances are old. There is one scratched pot, one oven dish, and one very old and scratched pan - no other cooking supplies. Tried to heat pizza in the oven and there was a lot of smoke from old, burnt residue.
The flat itself is dark, the bed wasn’t comfortable, and there was constant (9am till 10-11pm) very loud noise from the neighbours next door, which echoes in every room in the flat. The desk is located in the entryway, by the main door, so if you need to use it for work, it won’t be very comfortable.
All that said, Dina was responsive, gave us a lot of useful tips, and offered to change the dates on our booking after the internet crashed and we made it clear we can’t work there. The area is nice too. The flat might work for a short stay, but if you’re looking to stay longer or need to work while there, I recommend you find somewhere else.
