We communicated online with Andreas who seems to be the apartment manager. Instructions for check-in was clear.
Location is superb. Right where the main shopping district is with tons of eateries to choose from. And it is just a stone throw away from the metro station as well as the taxi stand. We love the location. Just to note, there is a flight of stairs to reach the apartment but it’s manageable.
Main issue is the toilet which makes it unsettling for us. The toilet bowl was not cleaned and was stained. Perhaps the cleaner might have forgotten to clean it. The toilet has sewerage smell which I think might be from the old pipe line given that it is an old city. We stayed for 4 nights and the smell lingered for the entire period even when we opened the small window in the toilet to get rid of the smell.
The hair dryer was kept in a box which was great but it was full of fingerprints. There are a few things in the house that need to be rectified but it was not an issue for us. Do bring your own body soap, shampoo, wine opener and detergent as it is not provided.
As for the host, Andreas was not responsive. But it is ok as we did not require much of an assistance.
Overall, location is undeniably great. If the toilet cleanliness and stench issue can be resolved, it is definitely an ideal place to stay.
