The location is really good actually but not 5 stars since it takes at least couple stations to important places. However, if you don’t mind walking, you can reach everywhere in the centre by half an hour walking through amazing streets.
1. Noise: There is a noise in the living room during the night and it never stops. It usually comes from the electric and gas unit but I think there is an additional noise from the building on the left. Not sure what it is but if you have a light sleep, it will be your nightmare.
2. Smell: Smell is not a big problem if you don’t use the bathroom too often. In the bathroom, it is unbearable but in the other rooms, it is ok. There is a slight smell throughout the whole flat but it is NOT annoying I can say. However, please note that the sweater I wear during the nights smells like the flat and it is not nice :)
I’ve seen comments from the owner stating that he/she is working on a fix but I haven’t seen it happening. My educated guess is that it is related to the building (since it is old) and it requires a joint effort by the whole apartment, which is highly unlikely to happen if the cost for repairment is high, which is highly likely. Ethan can correct me if I’m wrong, I don’t want to make false accusations.
3. Other than what I mentioned, it is perfect :) Check-in, cleanliness, beds etc were great and the kitchen was well equipped.
