Our host Alex was very professional, organized, and helpful. The location of the apartment can be a bit tricky to find, but again Alex made it very easy to locate. Otherwise the location is absolutely perfect. The views in real life from the terrace are even better than they look in the photos.
The apartment inside is modern and has recently been renovated, with a nice blend between historic, and modern features. Natural light shines inside all day long which was wonderful, but can easily be completely blocked out also. The apartment is also very spacious, and at the same time cozy. The bed was very comfortable and we felt very well rested thanks to our very restful sleep.
IMPORTANT:
This location in most ways is a perfect 5 star AirBNB. There is one standout problem however. The apartment has two troubling odors that emanate from the kitchen and bathroom. The bathroom has a smell that reminded us of a backed up septic tank. To be fair these things can happen in such old buildings, so not sure what can be done to fix this. The other problem was a "sour" smell coming from the kitchen and can be smelled throughout the entire apartment. It smells like wet laundry that has been left in the washing machine for a few days.
Efforts were made to minimize these smells including air fresheners, and fragrances, however they were not sufficient. It made it difficult for us to fully enjoy the apartment, and trust me we really wanted to enjoy this place because it's so nice otherwise.
We have shared our feedback with Alex, and we do hope that he can work on a permanent solution so that this AirBNB can be enjoyed to it's fullest for future visitors.
Thank you,
