We were met by Bruno, whom we were waiting outside for a short while. He gave us a single set of keys between four of us and have some tips about places to eat, supermarkets etc.
It should be noted that the common parts of the house are in a very bad state, with old torn linoleum covering the narrow stairs. It seems that no one cleaned the common parts for a long time. The downstairs neighbour added to the mess, as he obviously worked from home, doing something smelly during the day. Sometimes it was impossible to stay in the room because of the strong industrial smell. The apartment is spacious, but somewhat tired in decor. Bedrooms are quiet and the beds are comfortable. The biggest problem was the showers at the apartment, both of them. The small one was leaking into the middle of the bathroom doesn’t matter how careful you were. So there was a constant puddle of water on the floor and we stopped using the shower altogether.
So the four of us were sharing one shower as a result, but even that one had a problem. The ceiling shower was blocked and we only could use the hand held one which was a bit of a pain. Also, it was very humid at the apartment and the towels stayed constantly wet. I asked for a second set of towels to alternate the wet and dry ones.
Since it was Christmas time, the host didn’t react on our messages, and I had to message them twice before I got a response with a promise to send someone to fix the showers, but no one turned up.
Location of the house is good, with plenty of little shops around and tram stop nearby.
