I appreciated very much that we were allowed to check in early as it was going to rain and we had arrived a few hours earlier than the check in time. We got a fast reply and generally the communication was good.
The apartment is well located, close to the train station and to the city centre. The problem is that there are no crosswalks close to the building so you either have to jaywalk or do a pretty big detour every time you want to go to the centre, the supermarket or the train station. Obviously not the host's fault but I think its worth mentioning, as we were unaware of this and having a one year old in a stroller it was frustrating at times.
The place is small but it's enough for 2 people (even for 2.5) and pretty well furnished. We had to buy our own paper towels, garbage bags and detergent though (we were there for 5 days). I know these can count as 'extras' but they're small things that can make a big difference.
The most unpleasant thing were the bugs though :( kitchen bugs, specifically. I'm not sure it's related to the cleanliness of the place as it was clean, maybe it's a problem in the building, I don't know, but it wasn't great. Hopefully it's an easy fix and the next guests will find it just fine!
Last but not least, the place can be noisy because of the very busy road it's on, but the bedroom faces the back and if you close the door the noise fades. It's one of the drawbacks of centrally located apartments, which we accepted as such.
Overall, it was a good place to stay and I'm sure the hosts will be able to make it better. Thanks for having us!
