At first impression, the apartment was very nicely decorated and clean as seen in the photos, and my family really wanted to like the place. However, there were some problems that made our stay not quite comfortable.

Firstly, the wifi was very unstable, going completely out most of the time, or occasionally only having a weak signal at certain areas of the apartment like outside the door of the locked office in the kitchen. The provided desktop computer also could not connect to the Internet. We were most disappointed with this because I had contacted the hosts to make sure the Internet would be okay before we booked the apartment. The lack of an Internet connection caused much inconvenience to us as we could not look things up, plan our route or check in to our flight.

Besides this, the blue shower also did not seem to have a working temperature mixer and could only oscillate between scalding hot and freezing cold, making for extremely uncomfortable showers. The clock in the living room was not running, and the water boiler was old and formed white scum on the surface of any drinking water we put in it no matter how many times we washed it. Also note that the kitchen is not really equipped for preparing full meals as there is only one small electric stove to cook on.

On a positive note, the location of the apartment is alright if you buy a public transport pass as it is indeed only a couple minutes' walk from the Metro. We also enjoyed the air conditioning, terrace, and huge TV.
