I recommend this place for short-term stay such as 1-3 days. Anything longer, I wouldn’t recommend staying here. Notes are below. I stayed for almost 2 weeks.
+ The host is friendly. Gave us a bottle of wine and free towel changed due to an inconvenience.
+ Location is literally right in front of the train station so it’s convenient for arriving and departing. Good restaurants nearby and about ~6 minute walk to the city center.
+ Fairly clean
+ Lots of sunlight and a decent view
+ Stocked kitchen for re-heating leftovers, except no water boiler.
+ Umbrella provided.
- Air conditioning, heater, and fan did not work as advertised. When messaged, they said they’ll ask someone, but never got back to me.
- because of the above, we left the windows open, which unfortunately invited 8 mosquito bugs into the room for 3 days before i hand killed all of them. that’s how i know it was 8. this was most painful because my wife and I had bug bites all over our body for multiple days, making it super hard to sleep at night and itchy throughout the day.
- Internet is spotty. Building shares internet, but there isn’t an access point in the unit so internet cuts out consistently. I was dropped in one work meeting and had to switch to my phone’s hotspot. They say it’s good and fast internet, which is partially true because it’s over 100 mbps, but only when it’s working.
-/+ Toilet was clogged right when we got there, fortunately the host came by that same night to fix it.
- TV is tiny, and bed is far from the tv. Probably the smallest tv i’ve ever seen.
- There’s no trash in the building. It either piles up in your room, or you have to walk a few blocks outside to the nearest dumpster. The host offered to come by and pick up our trash and drop off a bug spray that i appreciate, but couldn’t use because it requires staying out of the room and airing it out because of the toxicity.
- They only give you one towel and one toilet roll per person. For almost two weeks, i think that’s unacceptable, and if you need more towels, they change an extra $20. We asked for more toilet paper, and they gave us another two. We ended up buying 6 rolls next door for 1 euro.
Good for a few days, but anything longer, this place isn’t meant for that, yet. I gave it a better rating than i should because it’s a new listing and the host is friendly so i believe they can make these small adjustments to improve the experience.
