I was very disappointed about this apartment and I really regret I didn't use the money to book a hotel, which would have been just as much, or to get an apartment from booking.com in the same area (there were plenty and much nicer...)
I am afraid this apartment lacks any personal touch. Is cold, with cheap fittings and many things that don't make sense. Not to mention that a lot of things are not working properly or there are broken, such as:
- the sliding door in the kitchen
- the light in the small bedroom (only 2 bedside table lamps available and if the guest needs to choose between having light or charging their mobile)
- In the big bathroom, there is no curtain for taking a shower and the water that gets on the floor doesn't drain anywhere. The bathroom was almost flooded...
- the shower cabin in the small bathroom was also faulty - the door was broken
- there are several electric cables coming out of the walls and are unsecured
- there was not even one full roll of toilet paper in both bathrooms.
- the lights on the hallway were working only 2 spots out of 9
- for cooking, there is nothing else but one small frying pan
Also, I used to book Airbnb quite a bit and I need to say that absolutely everywhere we were welcomed with at least a bottle of complimentary water. I know is not mandatory, but still, everybody does it. Here - nothing.
All in all, it is really a pity because the apartment per se is very big, has very high ceilings (which is nice) and is in a very good area. A bit of personal touch and minimal interior design invested in it would make a big difference. This apartment could really be a jewel if somebody would make an effort.
