This place has a fantastic view and is easily accessible from the central station. Overall, not a bad apartment, but with descriptions like “exclusive” and “exquisite interior” it failed to meet expectations, especially at this price point.
The following brought the overall experience down:
- The apartment was not clean when we arrived. Stains on the kitchen island, dust on the fridge, fatty fingerprints in the kitchen and bathroom, dirty drawers, stained dishes, and dirty balcony furniture were all unpleasant and not in line with the luxurious presentation in the listing. It should be noted, that the host was very responsive and did send a cleaner the next day when I pointed this out (who was super nice and efficient), but we really shouldn’t have had to deal with a day and a night in an unclean apartment without a being compensated for the inconvenience somehow.
- The apartment lacked some basic things like coffee (only enough for one day), toilet paper and paper towels. The host did provide toilet paper after we noted this, but we were asked to buy our own paper towels for basic kitchen use.
- The overall appearance of the furniture was worn and in some cases cheap. The sofa had permanent stains and marketing “exquisite interior” while furnishing with IKEA stuff is misleading. - One of the bathrooms was also missing a shower curtain so effectively only the shower in the master bedroom was usable.
With a little effort this could be an amazing spot, but unfortunately it’s just ok. I’ve stayed at other Airbnbs in the same neighborhood before where attention to detail was at a completely different level. The hosts seem to rent out airbnbs professionally so I’m sure the above could be addressed and improved upon.
