On the up side:
Huge, beautiful apartment with lovely courtyard and lot of storage options. Quiet neighbourhood and a lovely vegan- bio cafe next door with gluten-free options. Communication with host mostly smooth and host showed great flexibility when I forgot to leave the keys on checkout. (Thanks!!)
On the down side:
A few things could have improved my stay. 1. Better instructions - preferably written, to mimize waiting time on contacting the host. For instance I waited for help for 11 hours over night when the power went off, so I couldn’t cook or heat milk for my baby boy. Would have been nice to know that there was an extra central power switch outside the apartment in the general hall of the building as well as the one inside the apartment (which was obviously the one I tried). Likewise would have been nice to know the trick to unlocking the front door (host sent me a video when I was facing problems - but it gave me unnecessary waiting time in a critical situation) and where to switch on washing machine.
2. Kitchen is equipped with basic amenities of decent quality, but falls short for those guests wishing to actually cook meals at home. For instance I lacked scissors, whisk and portato peeler.
Ps: I didn’t use the basement at all as we had heaps of trim upstairs. It smelled a little damp down there, but there might be a ventilation suit to help with that....
