The apartment is big and spacious, and it’s well located- away from the tourists eyes and all the noises but close to tube/tram/bus stops (or around 20 mins on foot to get to the center). There is an Auchan right across the street and a couple of nice bars and cafes nearby. Flat also has a dishwasher and a washing machine which is a plus for someone who is staying for longer than 1-2 days. Check in went smooth though it is managed by concierge which is a bit less preferable for my taste as you have to agree on a specific arrival time.
However, we’ve been very disappointed by couple of things inside the apartment and the way the host responded to our questions in those regards.
First of all, there is no kettle (which I assume a necessity for a rental), toaster and microwave, despite being listed in the apartment description. Once we asked the host to provide those to us, he simply removed those items from the description.
Secondly, aircon doesn’t work (no heating, no cooling as well, only fan mode seem to be working), and all the requests in these regards went unnoticed, Johan just stopped responding to us. It might not be the case in summer, but it was freezing cold in Feb and again, apartment description did have heating mentioned. The flat doesn’t get direct sunlight, it’s always in the shadow which I think also worth noticing.
Overall, it’s surprising to me how the flat destined for a short let doesn’t have some essentials, as in-kettle, napkins, litter bin bags, corkscrew (in a winemaking country!), coffee filters (we were unable to find those in a couple of supermarkets) and the way the host just ignored us is really unprofessional.
