To start with the positives. Silvia was extremely helpful, clear and responsive in all communication leading up to and during my stay.
The apartment is well located to explore the city with a 10-15 min walk into the main commercial areas. There is a fantastic patisserie downstairs and a reasonably well stocked supermarket on the ground floor of the same block.
However... it was difficult not to feel really disappointed when I entered the flat. I'm not sure when the photos were taken but I didn't find what I was expecting. The place is badly in need of repair, renovation and updating. It's simply tired and run down. I also booked this place as the listing stated it had a terrace or external space. This was false information. I understand this has now been corrected, but this is bad false advertising.
It was also disappointing that so little effort has gone into making simple things better. The towels were threadbare and stained, the pillows have long since exceeded their lifespan and the cheapest toilet paper I've ever used was provided. I would also add there are issues that are downright dangerous. When I plugged my phone into the bedroom socket the (single!?) bedside lamp went out. When I checked the socket behind the bed the whole thing was hanging out of the wall!
There are other issues that made for an uncomfortable stay that are outside of the host's control. The apartment block is just really unpleasantly noisy. This comes from a mixture of other noisy residents, a main front door that never seems to stop slamming and traffic noise from one of the busiest roads in the city.
In summary, this is not a space where you would wish to spend any time, as I was hoping to. However, if you just need a bed and washing facilities for a night, and do not have high expectations on comfort standards, then this might suit your needs.
