This was a good place to stay and the description was quite accurate, but initially as it was described as a private room with shared bathroom, we thought it was a shared house kind of situation but it was actually like a small apartment building. So there are 3 rooms of which different people rent but with a shared bathroom.
Positives:
- Had everything as described in the listing.
- The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Bathroom was tidy with personal cabinet allocated to your room.
Things we didn’t expect:
- Collecting the keys from across the train station and then having to return them to the same place again was a bit annoying. It’s not THAT far from the station, but we had travelled for 12 hours already, arrived at night and had to find the key place while lugging around 3 huge suitcases.
- Finding the apartment was actually difficult, the instructions we were given weren’t clear enough as we ended up going to 2 wrong apartments ( one of which had a note on the door by the owner, saying ‘dear tourist, this is not the right apartment’, so obviously is happens a lot. We had to walk up 3 flights of stairs with our luggage 3 different times until we finally found the right apartment. Quite frustrating 😂
- the train and bus stations are both a 9 minute walk away, and Ubers are hard to get out there. We had to walk with our luggage to the train station when we left, thank god it’s all flat so it wasn’t that bad 😂 just something to note!
- There’s no washing machine and the nearest laundromat is 10 mins away, and the supermarket and laundromat only accept cash! There’s also no ATMS near by so make sure you have cash handy!
Apart from that it was a pretty good stay! Would be good to look into get lock boxes for the keys and adding photo instructions of how to find the apartment 👌
