Overpriced and sparsely furnished apartment
We spend two weeks in this apartment and it is located in a great and quiet area, just a few minutes walk from two different metro
stations. We found stores and supermarkets are just around the corner and the check-in was automized and smooth.
After entering the building (looks like all apartments are being rented out) the elevator we found was tiny. You can barely fit 2 people inside and it is way smaller than advertised in the listing. If you are planning to use it for a stroller or wheelchair then rent a place somewhere else.
The apartment itself is sparsely furnished and equipped. The big bedroom has one bar to hang your clothes on (no drawer or anything) and the smaller bedroom has nothing, not even space to open the luggage. This doesn’t matter, because it is simply impossible to close the door, due to the bed being in the way, so you can have access to your luggage in the corridor at all times.
Both bathrooms are properly sized, the ensuite bathroom in the big bedroom is great, however the smaller bathroom has moldy ceilings, rotten, black groutings between the tiles and smells if the fan is switched off.
On our second day staying here we actually went shopping for glasses and bowls, because unfortunately there are not enough glasses for everyone if you want to drink wine and water or anything else. The only glasses provided are 0,1l tiny ones, and there are only soup plates but no bowls if you want to eat cereal or snack something. We also bought scissors since none were provided. In general these things wouldn’t bother us too much (at least we ended up with some nice bowls and glasses for our home…) but considering the price that is charged for this place it is quite disappointing.
You can just simply really feel that the whole thing is a business and there is no aim to provide a really comfortable place. For example the “nice looking” light bulbs above the dining table as seen in the listing’s pictures have been replaced by horrible looking energy saving bulbs that provide illumination worthy of an operating table. We actually had to unscrew 2 of the 3 bulbs to be able to eat dinner without putting our sunglasses on.
We have stayed at a couple of Airbnb apartments by now and this one was by far the worst value for money option we encountered.
