Well… the apartment looks modern and clean on the pictures, but reality is a little different. It is not as high-quality as it seems, the knives are dull, there is no cutting board, not enough toilet paper and not enough sheets for 2 blankets, the glass cabinet shakes loudly every time you walk through the living room and it is significantly smaller than it looks in the profile.
Definitely NOT suitable for 4 people, if you don’t like dorm vibes!
Also the house is poorly soundproofed. You can hear every step the upstairs neighbors make, especially when their kids were running around, as we experienced for the whole last week.
Light sleepers will not sleep, I think this is very important to know.
The area is quite noisy, depending on what day of week it is, but you won’t be able to sleep until midnight (even with closed windows) because there is live music with opera singers in the streets every night. We enjoyed it, but we go to bed very late, so it didn’t bother us.
I have to say, I was very impressed with the bathroom the way it was presented in the profile. The fact that it is only about 2qm big was sobering but not surprising after we set foot in the apartment for the first time. The shower though was a bit weird. Not only is the water pressure almost a little painful, the hot water lasts only for 2 people and only if you save water (also a reason not to stay there with a party of 4) and the handheld shower head is broken, so you can’t shower without wetting your hair.
Now to something more unsettling.
I slept on the couch after a few nights in the bed because it is very soft and my back pain got worse every day. So as I was lying there, I heard something hustling under the couch. I turned the flashlight on my phone on and looked and I saw a cockroach struggling with a small bundle of hairs.
First I did not know what to do, then when I looked again, it was gone. I just stood there on the carpet freaking out and trying not to wake my friend and then I saw it run into the pile of pillows, that I stacked next to the couch.
You can imagine, I barely slept that night.
After all I must say it wasn’t terrible, the apartment is cute and well located. It just wasn’t what we expected and those little things on top didn’t really help the fact that it is not an apartment to relax and spent time in, but more for having a quick breakfast and falling into bed after a long day. All in all it was actually „okay“.
