We had a mixed experience during our stay with pros and cons.
Pros:
- Great location; very quiet and peaceful, also easy to find and just a short walk from amenities.
- Nice design features inside the apartment, such as a mosaic floor, wood carving above the bed and chandeliers.
- The host was responsive when we had questions, there was coffee available.
Cons:
- The apartment is in need of some repairs: e.g. mould in the kitchen area, holes in the wall and the bedroom window literally came off its hinges when we opened it and hit me on the head (we managed to fix it). We didn't use the wardrobe because it smelled damp.
- The doorbell rang early every morning (I assume the trash collector). The one time I opened it, it was the POLICE. They asked many questions about the host, who apparently is not correctly paying tourist tax. They even came inside for 15 minutes whilst I had to fill out and sign a form. The whole experience was very uncomfortable. The host messaged me on the last day warning me not to answer the door, but it was already too late.
- The doors are difficult to open and close; both my husband and I trapped our fingers whilst opening or unlocking the doors. Be careful.
Additional tips:
- Don't worry if the apartment feels cold at first; the thermostat is easy to find and warms the place quickly.
- If the shower is cold, check the switch under the thermostat. There always was hot water available.
- It's your responsibility as guests to separate and dispose of trash; you can either do this by taking it outside to the trash boat in the morning, or answer the door to the trash collector and hand them your trash bags.
