I’ve been traveling, so far in Eastern Europe and exclusively using Airbnb, since 10/2018. I try to stay around a $25/night budget in an “entire apartment”. I stayed in this apartment for 7 nights.
Pros:
Location:
I might be wrong but I think there are no Bus stops on this side of the train tracks. I didn’t ride the bus, I chose to walk each time. This apartment is a 10-12 minute walk to the trains/busses stations, another 5 minute walk to the shopping area and downtown, another 10-15 walk to the old town. The neighborhood it’s in is a very nice residential area.
Busses from the port are a short bus ride away but stop at the train station. I got ripped off with a 20 Euro taxi ride. The train station and bus area is a 10-12 minute walk.
Many nice restaurants of all price ranges within walking distance, cafes and pizza places are very close and plentiful.
Green groceries, markets and convenience stores and many stores are within a block or two
Very quiet and safe neighborhood
Apartment:
Secured building
Nice apartment in an established building.
Large rooms decorated with old furniture like you might find in your parents or grandparents house, very nice.
Very clean apartment
Nice tile bathroom with a bidet and a good sized shower with wand and nice rain head, small washer and lots of hot water (tankless) with good pressure.
Very comfy bed.
Host leaves no washer soap. They do supply all other consumables.
One air conditioner/heater in main room plus radiator heaters in all rooms. I visited in late November. I used the heat function, it worked fine.
Great WiFi
Ample supply of decent towels and linens
I didn’t use the kitchen but there’s a full size fridge, a nice gas cooktop with 5 burners, electric oven, several pots and pans, a set of dishes, set of silver and some kitchen tools, some spices
Second floor apartment with no elevator, one very small threshold step at building’s entrance. Windows open to the courtyard.
Lovely hostess
Cons:
No tv
I couldn’t find an ironing board. Outdoor and portable drying rack.
Something in the plumbing makes noise, I think it’s a recirculating pump. A noise that might keep some people awake, happens every 15 minutes or so, throughout the day and night. I use a white noise generator on my phone, works great for things just like this.
Conclusion:
I totally and whole heartedly recommend this apartment, a good value and a very nice apartment. It’s a bit of a walk (20 minutes) to go downtown/tourist areas/shopping
