Four of us have spent almost a month traveling throughout Europe staying in some great Airbnb’s but unfortunately this was not one of them. The cleaning lady was there to let us in and show us everything. She was absolutely lovely and the best thing about the apartment. We immediately tried to connect to wifi which would not work. Finally she moved the wifi modem to the eating area and we were able to connect.
We tried to boil some water the first night and quickly realized the gas was not turned on. Fortunately my husband knew how to turn it on and we were able to use the stovetop.
When we woke in the morning we had no hot water to shower with. We contacted one of the hosts who tried to walk us through how to turn the boiler back on. We were not successful and so he needed to make a trip to the apartment once we had gone out for the day (without having our showers). He contacted us after he arrived to say that the switch on the wall in the kitchen that operates the boiler was turned off. I asked him to label the switch so that we would not mistakenly turn it off again. It looked like a normal light switch and should be labeled to indicate what it was for. The last night we were there we turned the dishwasher on ... the power in the kitchen/eating area/living room kept going out and we had to flip the breaker to get the power back on. The only other thing we had going at the same time was the tv. We ended up shutting the dishwasher down and doing the dishes by hand. I can’t count how many times the water boiler had an error message and we had to press the reset button. There is definitely an electrical issue in the apartment.
The description says it has new windows and is very quiet. It is definitely anything but quiet! Our first night wasn’t bad for noise but come Friday and Saturday night it was very loud and it kept up until about 2:00 each night. The description also mentions an elevator in the building but fails to mention that it is only used for luggage and that there are 50 steps to the apartment door.
Once the electrical issues are sorted out I would recommend describing the apartment as a place that would most likely appeal to young adults that will most likely be part of the party scene.
