We really appreciate the opportunity to stay in the apartment - the central location is fantastically convenient and the view from the top floor magnificent!
It is a shame that the owners did not alert us to the fact that the unit is home to a dog - the unpleasant wet dog smell was immediately apparent upon entry, and we returned home with all our clothes covered in dog hair. One of us is allergic to pets and this made for a very uncomfortable time in the unit.
It would have also been good to know that the unit is clearly the regular residence of the hosts. We felt that we were visiting the hosts rather than staying at a 'bnb' - food in the fridge, toiletries in bathrooms, dishes in dishwasher, laundry in washer/dryer. We felt like we were intruding during our stay. Yes, the fact that the unit is regularly occupied by the owners was mentioned, but this was not until we the booking confirmation - this needs to be signalled in the booking description well ahead of time.
