We loved the location of this apartment, with its spectacular view and super-convenient proximity to the old town center. The modern renovation of the authentic old building was well done. Security felt good with double-locking doors and a digital locking system. Everything was sparkling clean.
One wish was that the apartment had a warmer feel (perhaps a few things on the walls, and small carpets in the living room and bedrooms so that one's feet weren't always cold and the surfaces hard. It did feel rather Spartan).
My biggest complaint was the complete lack of kitchen supplies (meaning food-type) so that a person could do some simple cooking. If an apartment comes with a full kitchen, I believe the host can assume that their guest will be doing at least some cooking--and therefore, they should provide some basic cooking supplies: salt and pepper, some oil and vinegar for salads, and coffee/tea for at least the first morning. I suppose there could be liability issues around this concept, but I've rented many an Airbnb that provided these things and sometimes much more. It's so nice! Shopping at a neighborhood grocery store or food market for local ingredients, then cooking and eating in one’s apartment is one of the main reasons many people choose the Airbnb option, as opposed to a hotel. Anyway—I expressed these thoughts to our nice host Marta, and she told me she’d pass along the request to the owners. Thanks, Marta!
We did use a breakfast delivery service suggested by the owners and it was fantastic! What a great idea.
All in all, a very nice stay in a beautiful city. Thank you!
