The most disappointing thing is the uncomfortable, outdated and cramped kitchen with three very uncomfortable steps in the corridor which you have to step over on your way to the bathroom. The layout of the apartment is weird: the bathroom is next to the front door far from the bedroom and the washing machine is in the closet on the balcony outside the bedroom!
In addition, early in the morning there started drilling and hammering nearby probably in the apartment below and it was so loud we couldn’t sleep. The host should have warned us about that.
There were a number of minor inconveniences like an old and dirty dishwashing sponge, a very basic set of kitchen utensils and a battered kettle unfit for boiling water, power points incompatible with standard European plugs with only one adapter for the whole apartment, no towel hooks in the bathroom, a tiny shower unit and unstable hot water supply.
Moreover, the iron was faulty as it scorched my blouse even at the lowest heating setting.
We practically had to beg for a second blanket as there was only one at the time of our arrival - it’s surprising as the apartment should be fully equipped for 4 guests. Finally the host gave us the blanket which was supposed to be one per each guest.
The upside is that the host has a catalogue for every possible need like shopping or sightseeing and she gave us useful information about the best shoe shops nearby.
She is amiable and nice, and was eager to help us with keeping our luggage in the apartment even though we already checked out.
