Marcia's home is gorgeous and just as in the photos. It's a fully renovated basement flat. Immaculate and fresh with modern appliances and stylish accessories. 3 of us stayed and it was more than enough room. And there's a dedicated space with guide books and maps and everything you could need to explore the city.
There's a lovely patio with dining area and lighting which is awesome in the evening but unfortunately, the weather wasn't great so we didn't get to utilize this space. But would be perfect in warmer weather for breakfast and evening meals. There's an electric heater which was needed in March as it was really cold - it took the edge off but didn't quite heat us up enough, but piling on jumpers helped.
The natural light that comes into the apartment is solely from the full-length patio glass doors, so there's no natural light in the bedroom if the bedroom doors are closed or in the bathroom, but the common spaces are well lit with natural light.
The home is peaceful, with nice local cafes and bakeries close by. We could do some areas on foot, but the metro, bus or tram is better for others.
We didn't get to meet Marcia the host during our stay - due to an emergency her boyfriend checked us in and we were advised to leave the keys on our departure due to an early exit time. Only issues we had with the place were that the kettle was not working - but Marcia replaced it with a brand new one within hours - thank you! We had a little trouble working the heater and getting it to stay on so instructions would have been useful, and there was an unusual smell (could be sewage??) that would come into the apartment. It was not overwhelming, and not always present, but not pleasant.
Marcia was always available for communication, and for the most part this was very friendly but on occasion, it felt a tad pushy and patronizing - but this could just be things getting lost in translation/text form.
Overall our stay was pleasant, we felt at home and relaxed and we had no regrets staying there. It is a lovely space, and if they take on board feedback it can only get better.
