The hosts were flexible with regard to check-in, offering pick up from a lockbox away from the apartment, however, the instructions on how to access this box weren’t very clear.
There was no instruction on the apartment building itself either; it took us about 15 minutes to figure out which floor/apartment was the right one. The front door key is also really stiff, making it difficult to get into the apartment.
The apartment itself is in a good location, but the listing is quite misleading. There are loose tiles all over the apartment, and as other guests said, the bathroom seriously needs updating. The shower’s tiny, with a broken door and there was only one roll of toilet paper provided for 4 of us, for a 4-night stay.
The bedrooms are a good size, however, if it’s hot outside, you’ll likely have to leave the bedroom doors open overnight with the aircon on, otherwise it’ll be unbearably hot.
The living area looked a little bigger in the photos. It worked as a social space, but wasn’t quite what we were expecting from the listing. The balcony also faces inwards, so don’t expect any views. Similarly, most of the windows open into courtyards in the apartment building, so you can’t open up the bedroom windows unless you want to be in full view of the neighbours.
Overall, the stay was okay, but definitely not the standard we would’ve expected for the price we paid.
