We stayed in the apartment for 5 nights.
First, the location is really good, it’s very close to the old town, but it’s also quiet at night.
The house is located in a pedestrian street, but we always found parking spots not too far away. A lot of (cute) stray cats and dogs live in the area, and to be honest, you can smell that now and then by walking through the streets.
In the house there are two apartments, the upper one is the one we stayed in, the other one belongs to a student. Both apartments share the same stairwell, and for any reason, partly also the same light switch. One of the light switches is connected to one lamp in the stairwell and one lamp in the apartment at the same time, so when the neighbour living downstairs came home at night, he turned on the light in our apartment more than once, which felt a little weird. The roof terrace is a big plus, although it‘s a little struggle to bring anything up there because of the steep stairs. The kitchen provides anything you need to prepare breakfast or other small meals. Also, the pictures shown on AirBnB concerning the furniture are quite accurate.
The weather during our stay was very rainy, and it felt like the house couldn’t handle the rain very well. The walls and the ceiling got wet, the plaster got off at some points of the wall and there were mildew stains at several parts of the ceiling, which got even bigger during our stay.
What bothered us the most was the bathroom. The shower is really tiny and low and has no suspension for the showerhead, so it’s kind of a struggle to wash your hair or take a relaxed shower without watering the whole bathroom (we are both 1,74m tall).
When we arrived, there was no shower curtain at all, but since it is written in the „house rules“ to use the shower curtain properly, we asked Aspasia for one. The shower curtain she brought us was made out of cotton, which never really dried inside the tiny bathroom and couldn’t be hung outside the apartment because of the rainy weather. So after some days, the whole apartment, especially the towels, bedsheets and our clothes, felt a little moist. Even the dehumidifier in the apartment, which daily filtered about 2 litres of water out of the air, couldn’t really fight the moist.
When we told Aspasia about the situation, she told us that she doesn’t like plastic-curtains and recommended to cancel the reservation for our last two days.
Communication with Aspasia in general was kind of tough because she is not very good at speaking or understanding proper english, so it sometimes took a while to understand each other.
The apartment might have a special rustic charm, but all in all we wouldn’t stay here again.
