I chose this apartment having seen the photos on the website and read the very encouraging reviews of previous guests. I was however left greatly disappointed by my stay. In a nutshell: not good at all and definitely NOT value for money. This apartment isn't among the cheaper ones and for the price which we paid, the standard of accommodation expected was rather high. We found one main bathroom and a small WC toilet - NOT two bathrooms as the website listing describes. The state of the main bathroom is simply appalling - mould and accumulated dirt in corners of floor, shower and tub. Shower enclosure broken, impossible to close. Hot water taps in both sinks not working - we had to call the host who repaired them after two days of stay. The two WCs are old, with disgusting green deposits inside, probably never replaced in years. The water taps are so old, they have crusty deposits on them. Disgusting. Not even a bathroom mat was present in the bathroom. The bidet had stains inside making it feel old and derelict. Simply out of order.
Some of the line was provided with red-ish stains. Two of the bed throws also had stains. No matter what the stains were, a guest should be provided with immaculately clean linen and facilities. No mould, dirt, things not working. One of the double beds is located in a room full of amazing old books, but however very dusty and as a result it is impossible to sleep in there comfortably because the air is not breathable. The pressure of the water in the shower is very low, making it impossible to have a shower comfortably and efficiently. I understand that the pressure is dependent on supply to the building, but presently the water is just a but more than a drip. The owner should consider ways to supply additional water pressure and enable a REAL shower for the guests. the kitchen is not very equipped, we were 5 during our stay and opted not to cook in the apartment because there weren't enough utensils/pans/cups etc for make the meal preparation smooth and easy. I have stayed in many places, travel a lot and always choose places which are more costly/upmarket because the expectation is that those places ought to be much better than others. This was genuinely the worst place I have ever paid to stay at because for the cost there should not have been any of the above shortcomings. The owner should be prepared to make the necessary improvements for a 5-star stay!
