Overall, we liked the placement of the location, as we had easy access to a bunch of stuff. We used the metro a lot, so being close to public transportation was really important to us.
I wouldn't recommend it though to families with small kids (we have a 3 year old), but it could work if you plan on using it for a short stay (3-4 days) and you don't plan on staying too much indoors.
Pros:
- good appliances
- great location, easy access to transportation, groceries, restaurants and many other places and services
- the apartment has most of the things a small family would need, but it might miss things if you plan on doing a lot of cooking or you care a whole lot about cleanliness or piece or mind (we do)
- comfortable beds
- Sonia replies usually quite fast, I didn't use the concierge at all, but I found the conversation with Sonia very transactional
- very close to the airport
- has heaters that you can use if you are chilly
- lots of storage space
Cons:
- we used the airport transfer car service that was recommended but it was unnecessary, I wouldn't use it again TBH because the location is really close to the airport
- we were not provided with some basic necessities from day 1: dish soap, enough toilet papers (which not even after frequent communication we were not provided enough for a 1 week stay), dish washer detergent
- second bath is extremely small, very difficult to use, we barely used it
- the apartment is quite dark, not a lot of natural light, living room has no windows (we didn't use it at all)
- main shower cabin was not properly cleaned, 1 shower head was totally unusable, another one was a bit more usable, the broken one got replaced after 2 days
- the place is overall more worn out than what it looks in the pics IMHO, but it looks nice still
- the place has thin walls, and a lot of noise goes through the door also, so it might be a bit noisy for some people, it was for us
- lost energy going back and forth and talking about toilet paper necessities, which is a bit sad if I'm being honest, this if the first time this has happened to me
- over I got the feeling that the place is not getting a lot of love and is slowly decaying, which is sad because it's not really a bad apartment.
I personally will not book this apartment again, because I was disappointed by the way certain things were handled, and because Sonia seems to be too focused on saving costs at the expense of the overall experience the apartment can offer.
