I will start with the positives:
- great location, just a 3 min walk from a bus stop, busses run 24/7. There is a huge supermarket 2 mins away, as well as a great pizza place, a chinese restaurant and a pastry shop.
- apartment is quite spacious and can easily fit 8 people. We were 7 and it was perfect for us. There is a huge living room, a nice dining table, a kitchen you can use if you need to cook something.
- Communication with Lucano was quick and easy. He was very responsive and replied to questions within a few minutes.
The negatives:
- The heating in the apartment is entirely controlled by the host. It is set to 21 degrees. the first day, While we were there the heating system was not even on. We asked the host to turn it up to 22 degrees, but he said that gas prices are too high and that according to standarts 21 degrees is more than enough. 21 degrees , where we live is definitely not enough to feel cosy and comfortable. The second day we got back to the apartment in the evening, soaked wet and cold. we asked him to turn the heat on, which he gladly did quite quickly, but then in a few hours he turned off again. The 3rd day we had to ask him to turn it on once again. To me it such details should be included in the details on the post. If we knew that we would have no control over the temperature in the apartment, we would definitely consider a different place to stay.
- when searching for the place, use the address, do not click on "get directions" in airbnb. It gets you to the wrong place, but the address is actually correct.
- the drain in the big bathroom was clogged, so it was quite unpleasant for the second or 3rd person in line to take a shower, as they would have to soak their feet in the water from the previous person.
Overall, location is great, but place is a bit "dusty" and "old". If you decide to spend time in it, I would suggest to do so in the hot months of the summer, otherwise bring warm clothes, as nights get really cold.
