Our experience was very mixed. After reading the reviews, we knew the flat wasn’t going to be a 5 * hotel but we were excited to experience staying in the “Janitor’s closet” however, there were a few things I feel need highlighting. Especially as I personally found that this accommodation is not the cheapest you can find in the old town (I personally found a couple of nice hotels/airbnbs around the same price/cheaper but we decided on this one as we thought it would be unique and cosy).
Firstly, the flat was not clean. It’s almost insulting that the host charges a cleaning fee. Our bedding also didn’t smell or look clean (there were stains, hairs and crumbs on them) and neither did the towel. If we had arrived earlier, we would have moved elsewhere as this was not a great welcome after travelling all day.
There is also a really bad smell in the flat. I would expect something off as we were staying in the basement but the smell was awful - it could really benefit from an air freshener in there. I guess this is because there’s no windows so you can’t air it out.
The sofa bed is super uncomfortable so bare that in mind as well, especially if you have bad back problems as it is rock hard. This wasn’t a massive issue for us but thought it was worth noting for other travellers. It would definitely benefit from a mattress topper.
Despite all of this, the location was great - you are close to lots of things and in the heart of the old town. The bathroom (although not the cleanest) is a nice size. The heating works great and it was nice to arrive somewhere warm after being out in the cold!
