I honestly to this day don't know how this apartment has so many good reviews. Clearly the very flattering pictures show the state of the apartment when it was first furnished which by the signature on the mural in the bedroom I take was in 2016. I guess ever since then nothing has ever been replaced or repaired here. The overall state of the apartment is very rundown. I will try to list everything that was broken or otherwise in bad shape: the sofabed was an entirely different one from the pictures. This one was (once) white and is now covered in all kinds of stains (blood and other bodily fluids) so there really is no way of sleeping on this. The fridge is not working properly, there is a thick layer of ice in the back and water is dripping from the top onto all the food . There is mold in all the sealings which is disgusting at best and a health hazard at worst. Most of the dishes have cracks and weren't really clean when we arrived. There was only a smelly used sponge to clean them.
In the bathroom the wall mount for the showerhead came off at the smallest movement which is potentially dangerous if it hits someone in the head. We had to wash the provided towels cause they smelled. We also had to have the sheets and bedding changed cause there were stains on these too (the host sent a cleaning crew which changed those, they took one particularly dirty blanket with them but we never got a replacement for that so we had to sleep with one blanket with two people). The cleaning crew also told us they had alerted the host multiply times about the bad state of everything but there was never anything done about it. (concerning if you ask me...)
The sealing of the washing machine was moldy as wells so we couldn't use it.
Overall the apartment is nowhere near as bright, charming and cozy as the pictures lead to believe. It is quite dark and as I said rundown and in desperate need of an overhaul in every way.
I guess it would be ok for two or three nights but staying here a week was a real challenge especially if the weather isn't that great and you are stuck in this apartment. Luckily the TV and Wifi worked fine.
We tried to talk to the host about our concerns with the place but other than having someone change the sheets there were no concessions from him on the state of the apartment. We only got predrafted messages and no real communication about the issues we had. I can only assume the host hasn't personally seen this apartment in years since check-in and check-out also happend without him present so I don't really think he knows how the condition of everything is.
At check-in we collected the keys at a near restaurant. We later asked the owners if they knew the host and could tell us something about the situation but they said they only visited once with him and the key to the apartment has been stashed at the restaurant ever since. They have to sometimes stay late when people check-in later than expected. It sounded like a real hassle for them and definitely added to my bad feelings about this whole place.
The apartment was all in all not worth the money we paid for it (almost 700€ for a week). For half of this or maybe half of the nights I could've lived with the circumstances but for this amount of money it was a real shame.
