Great location, easy access to everything, easy self check in procedure, the building is nice, all the units are rented to tourists. Feels safe. There’s a doorman for some part of the day. The apartment has everything needed for a short stay. There was even an alternative thicker pillow in the closet which worked better for me than what was on the bed. Street noise at night wasn’t too bad.
The one thing that went wrong was that the fire alarm went off in the building 2 nights in a row, and 3-4 times on that last night. No one knew what to do since we were all foreigners. We were out on the street for an hour. I didn’t have a number for the owner, which is really unacceptable. If we have to share every single thing about ourselves, it should be mandatory that we get a number on which they can be reached. I called emergency services who told me to call the police. I couldn’t find an accurate number for the police. This kind of information should be shown clearly in all apartments and in the building. Eventually a man in a van turned up - the alarm had gone off in an unoccupied apartment.
It was an exhausting stay of little sleep on 2 out of 3 nights. The owner says he’ll refund me the last night and I’m waiting for that.
These things can randomly happen in an otherwise uneventful stay, I understand that. But I strongly feel owners should provide us with their contact numbers if one has to reach out in an emergency, and numbers for emergency services need to be displayed. Not providing a contact point is unacceptable.
