Overall a disappointing stay that we can not recommend to anyone.
PROS:
- Location is central (although more than 21 steps from the bridge).
- Host was responsive and gave us good suggestions for places to eat.
- The bedrooms were nice.
CONS:
- Air-conditioners barely worked so was still uncomfortably warm and they were so loud (random clonky noises every few seconds) that they kept us up at night (I see now that others mention this in their reviews which I had unfortunately missed or we would have never chosen this place).
- The kitchen is tiny, has very old appliances and very few items. Definitely not a place for cooking.
- The bathroom shower head is broken off (many mention this but still not fixed) and even though the small shower is enclosed it is not fully sealed so it’s impossible not to get water on the bathroom floor which gets dangerously slippery and has no floor mat. I slipped and fell hurting my wrist.
- Check out time of 10am is the earliest of any Airbnb we have ever stayed in and was a real challenge for us with 3 teenagers. We ended up running 7 minutes over before we were fully out of the place and the whole time we had a grumpy cleaning lady just stare at us and saying something angry into her phone.
- The place is clearly only used for Airbnb and feels impersonal and not cozy at all.
- The apartment is advertised as fully renovated but feels run down with old appliances.
- It was a bit hard to find even with GPS and we didn’t know what floor the apartment was on or what name was on the door so ended up having to try the key in every apartment to find it (also mentioned by others).
- We have stayed in Airbnb’s all over the world and are hosts ourselves. This is the first negative review we have ever given.
