There are some pros and cons to this apartment.
The cons are, on arriving at 22.15 we paid an additional 20euro for late check in, we know from further reading of the details that this is in the small print, but we felt that it was high given that we already paid rental fee, cleaning fee, admin fee and local taxes. Knowing that we had arranged to arrive late, the hosts did not even leave water or milk as a welcome pack, in fact the apartment was bare of any simple necessities such as salt, pepper, oil, washing powder etc which in our experience with several stays with Airbnb, this is very standard and all places we stayed in had more than the basic necessities!
This apartment is part of a business structure in rentals, more like an apart-hotel. It seems the host has many apartments in this building. This is not the traditional airbnb rental one would expect, it lacks character and anything resembling a personal touch. The interior fittings and furniture are dated and various items need replacing with some items torn or falling away from walls. When we decided to stay in and cook, we had to buy all the essential simple things to cook and watch TV but there are only Local language stations yet instruction signage for guests around the apartment were in several languages! This is a 3 bedroom apartment however 1 room has windows which open to a small dark light well.
On the pros, the communication with Marc and greeting in reception from Patricia was very warm and informative. The location was great with easy access to metro line. Nice selection of local bars and cafes with friendly staff.
