We have mixed feelings. While the location is really good, there are a lot of negative points. Short version: would not recommend.
- Check-in: the apartment is located at number 160, not 162 as stated in the advert. Keys are obtained through a safe, which is good - if the keys would work without a problem. We’ve spent 10-15 minutes twice managing to find a way that works. Comment when we asked whether there is a trick to do it: „There’s other people that had no issue - just find the right way.“ The apartment door opens via code. The code changed without (!) notice during our stay and we had to contact the owner.
++ Tip for fellow travelers: slightly pull out the key and turn it to the left a little, then you’ll be able to turn it to the right to open the door. ++
- Sanity: shower drain is a little clogged. Showering for more than 3 minutes results in overflow. Bathroom cabinet has seen better days.
Towels are heavily stained. Same is true for the sofa and the bed sheets that had blood stains on them. Gross.
!!The mattress was the worst: even though it looked clean it was smelling like somebody vomited on it. Not really sleep-friendly either. !! Cleaner told us a special company will take care of it - you be the judge whether that has happened ;)
All in all: would not recommend which is a little surprising given other rentals from Maria had good reviews.
