Pros:
1) The terrace is amazing and the sunsets there are beautiful. You can see the entire city from this terrace!
2) The living room is really nice; all the windows around it can open and the big sofa is a great place to chill.
3) The airconditioning works just perfect - a necessity during hot summer days and nights
4) It has an elevator - for an appartment on the 5th floor, this is heaven
5) Location, location, location
6) Walk in closet where all your luggage is out of sight
7) All the pictures and plants make it a cozy and personal experience to stay here
8) Communication is well and timely
Cons:
1) Major con: there is no bed, just a mattress on a hard floor. While this can be fine for a night or 2, after more than a week our backs were killing is. We slept so bad, it doesn't outweigh the pros. If you're on holiday, you want to at least get the same amount of sleep as when at home working.
2) This is a more minor con: if you enjoy cooking, this might not be the best kitchen to be in. It's missing quite some basic utensils like knives, serving spoons and good pans.
This could be easily resolved by the host by buying new utensils. Or, if you don't cook, this isn't a problem at all.
3) Also more of a minor con: It isn't very well maintained. For example, we tried using the wall outlets next to the mattress - one spit sparks, the other one couldn't hold the plug. The day bed in the terrace is sagged. The sink was broken in 2 (the host did apologize for this one).
The dishwasher only works in program 4, but that doesn't clean the dishes.
Paint is peeling off.
4) The apartment is (a lot) smaller than it seems in the pictures. It didn't bother us as a couple, but we wouldn't recommend staying here with more than 2 people.
