To begin with the apartment is listed as a luxury property and is priced accordingly. Hence once you get there one expect a high-class apartment but hardly gets it. The apartment is quite old, very bad maintained and the worst of all is really dirty. There was sings of dirt everywhere but were especially noticeable on the curtains that appeared grey even though their original color was obviously white, on the walls, that were covered in stains, on the radiator heaters that we had to clean ourselves, the TV screen, the windows and the couch that were repulsive to sit in. Another huge problem is that the apartment is more than noisy and that’s not only because it is situated on a main road. The windows are so old it feels like they are open all the time in terms of noise they let in. It is impossible to sleep well hearing ambulances and police sirens all night long. One should consider better if a good night sleep is required or is travelling with a baby which was our case. Also, there is a huge problem with the hot water in the apartment. When you take a shower the water abruptly turns into freezing and don’t get warm again in a long time, which I consider enormous inconvenience. And that happens in both normal and thermostat shower. It’s worth mentioning that the third toilet that is situated in the master’s bedroom is almost impossible to use. Once you run water in it or flash the toilet it generates such a sound it resembles an earthquake. Finally, we weren’t able to check in in time because of cleaning services going on but at least we were compensated for that by the host who let us check out later which was very convenient considering our late flight.
On the positive part the apartment is very big and can accommodate a large group of people. My communication with the host was excellent and is highly appreciated. He is very kind and even brought some wine glasses when I asked for them. It is supplied with everything you need for cooking, has an TV stocked up with entertainment subscriptions and has a fantastic location.
To sum it up, in my opinion, you definitely don’t get what you pay for.
