Much has already been written about the age of the place, but also the lovely balcony and excellent location, so I'll simply add a few observations not already in other reviews. We stayed a month in Winter 2019.
First the good stuff:
- great security and nice lobby
- 2 lifts which is great for luggage and shopping
- strong flushing toilet
- ignoring the condition of the tub, the shower was good with lots of hot water
- under-floor heating keeps the flat quite comfortable (you cannot control the heating, it's done centrally for the whole building)
- Kitchen is well stocked with plenty of pots, pans and utensils
- extra towels and linens available
The downside:
- It's clean on the surface, but could do with a vacuum behind/under furniture and a good wipe down inside cupboards/drawers
- The kitchen cabinets/drawers don't all shut properly, some knobs come off in your hand
- The oven is broken so if that's important to you, check before you book
- The dining chairs are not sturdy, so if you're heavier than 60kgs you'll want to be careful.
- The windows and doors of the flat do not shut fast, so the flat can be drafty on a windy Winter day. Your options are pulling down the blinds (but that shuts out light, and some blinds are old, so we didn't want to risk breaking them or not be able to bring them back up) or closing the internal doors to isolate the rooms which is what we did
- There are glass panes missing from the Kitchen's external door but we've notified the Owner so it may already be fixed. Probably only an issue in Winter.
- The Living Room walls are thin, so you can very clearly hear the TV and conversations next door.
If you're staying just a few days, and need only a place to crash at night, there's no reason not to consider this place, especially given the location and price. However, if you're planning on a long stay, the condition of the flat might not be adequate depending on how much you plan to do in the flat.
