We arrived at the house early evening and were greeted by Sarah's mother. The apartment is very central but removed enough that prices start to go down.

The look of the apartment is very interesting, with every nook and cranny filled with some art object or another. Unfortunately for us, this made it very difficult for us as we had two young children who were unable to be in the space freely. Additionally the place is very dirty, areas of it have obviously not been cleaned in a long time. There was old food left in the fridge when we got there and dust balls everywhere. We had to spend an afternoon cleaning because we were getting sick from all the dirt as two of the people in our group suffer from allergies. The second room in the back is particularly dirty, the main room up front being much nicer. We discovered that there were bed bugs in the mattress of the backroom and our young son was left with bites all over his body. The stairs at the front of the building are also very steep and not suitable for people with physical problems, strollers or the like. Also the wifi is very spotty.

Lastly, the advertisement says that you'll always find oil, pasta and a bottle of wine. There was oil, an open, half eaten pack of spaghetti and no bottle of wine.

Sarah's mum seemed very nice but unfortunately we wouldn't return to the apartment due to our experience.
