As a college student studying in Europe, I was thrilled to see Alex's place and how affordable it was. The water only stays hot in the shower for about 10 minutes or less which was unfortunate with two people showering back to back. This was not the major issue though. On our last morning in the flat, we noticed several cockroaches by the door which was a very unsettling surprise. I informed Alex of these issues on the day of my checkout and he said that the cockroaches were coming from the outside. However, with an apartment on the third floor, this seemed off to me. After requesting partial reimbursement for these issues, Alex sent me a very uncivilized and accusatory response and declined any reimbursement. The water issue was inconvenient, but the issue of cockroaches is a much bigger problem of sanitation. I am disappointed in how he handled the situation when I was civil and honest. Just be aware and definitely consider booking somewhere else!
