I was very happy with my stay in the apartment. Overall, the decorations are very nice and it is a nice environment to be in.
I stayed in the apartment for 3 weeks in August 2020 and because I had been in contact with a person who was suddenly tested positive for covid-19, I ended up being in (unplanned) quarantine in this apartment (but I was eventually tested negative). But that means that I spent A LOT of time in the apartment. I was overall very happy with it.
I particularly appreciated the washing machine, the dishwasher and the big refrigerator and possibility to cook - additionally to the obvious nice decorations, high ceilings etc. Loved the mini balcony! The shower was also great. It is also possible to clean (there is a vacuum cleaner and there are a few cleaning products) which is great for a longer stay. I also really enjoyed the big windows and big amount of light coming in.
A few cons (not deal-breakers) are:
- Although the apartment is just like you see it in the pictures, there are some minor esthetic details that are not quite as luxurious as they appear. For example, the faucet in the bathroom was not properly fastened (in a pretty way). It was not a problem when using it, but it was something I had expected to be different.
- There are the basic necessary cooking utensils, but I would have liked more (however, as mentioned, I was also home a lot, so that might be different for most people).
- I would have liked a place to sit other than the couch and little space on the balcony. When eating, it could be a bit uncomfortable. I also worked from home during the quarantine, and my back started hurting eventually because there was not a proper table to sit at to eat/work. But again, most people would probably not spend that much time at the apartment.
The airconditioner works great, the neighborhood is lively, but not noisy. When the windows are closed you barely hear anything.
There was great contact with the hosts - they would respond quickly when contacted and also kept in touch a few times to see if I needed anything.
I used the taxi service they offered from the airport and got a really kind and helpful driver who helped me when my phone didn't work which made me unable to contact the hosts. Recommended!
