Below I will share my positive and negative experiences as they are.
First the positives:
Herman and Larina has an absolutely sweet little place. Its comfortable, fresh, bright, quiet and cosy.
Bed is large and comfortable. Furniture is nice and new. Kitchen is good enough for one or two people cooking basic dishes. View is amazing. Shops are nearby. Larina is very pleasant. I really enjoyed my stay.
The negatives:
Upon arrival I was welcomed by the maid, who happened to be a bit awkward with her comments. Asked me to park my car to a 2 square meter spot, which I did, but then I couldnt get out of the car in any way as it was such a tiny tight space. And her comment was "Bigger cars parked here, maybe your parking skills are bad". Ehm. I am Turkish, I learned driving in Istanbul xD That space IS tiny.
Unsolicited comment anyways. But still I was able to park my car inside the property at another spot, no problem.
Just, not so good of a first impression.
After checking in, I realized clean dishes on the table were very dusty and needed to be washed but i realized a bit late so ended up eating some dust.
It is a self catering apartment but it was missing some very basics.
There was no dish washing sponge, not a proper sharp knife to use while cooking, no cooking oil, and the cooking pan was full of deep scratches and it was badly burned. Herman was very nice to bring me their own pan after I contacted them. And Larina brought me a brand new pan after couple days, which was appreciated. No shampoo and body wash either.
There was no extra bedsheets and no extra towels. Maid is changing bedsheets every 6 days.
On my last day, there was an unsolicited comment from Herman about my airconditioner usage which kinda ruined my positive vibes about the place. It was early morning, 15 degrees outside. Airco was running on heating mode at 21 degrees as I was feeling a bit under the weather. Herman waved me from the window and said "It's cold enough outside". Indirectly asking me to turn off the aircon.. I said its in heating mode and brushed it off but found it quite disturbing as it felt like someone was looking over my shoulders about my consumptions in a place I paid for.
Overall it is a very lovely place and I think he commented that without thinking. But since they are not doing a charity and actually charging a nightly fee, I believe a little bit more professionalism and keeping an eye on the things in the apartment wouldn't hurt.
