Unfortunately, the owner has been away & in his absence, the 5-star standard ( as described by others) had dropped by the time of our stay. This is truly capable of being a five star accomodation but was not at that level for our stay. We are partially to blame as we did not immediately alert Kristian of the issues with cleanliness & bed underlays as once he knew he immediately wanted to get someone in to clean but as we only had a day and a half left we didn’t feel it was worth the disruption.
The apartment is incredibly well situated & spacious for inner city accomodation & is well stocked with regards to shower gel, toilet paper, basic kitchen cupboard ( salt, pepper, coffee, oil), dishwashing liquid, utensils. Whilst has two decent frypans, only one saucepan (6 egg capacity) so unable to cook things like pasta or rice. No microwave safe containers despite microwave. Comprehensive range of cutlery , glassware & plates. No bottle opener/ corkscrew. No paper towel or tea towels. Just some examples.
It’s extremely central to pretty much everything and we found we did not even need to get a metro card as were between 5 and 20 minutes walking distance of every single place, resturant, museum, gallery, park or attraction that we wanted to visit plus 2 super markets literally just a block away ( a Lidl and another chain that was open 24 hours) and both with a vast array of fresh & packaged produce, ready meals and wine.
Cleanliness was an issue with ‘dust bunnies’ in corners and if we walked barefoot, would then have to wash feet. The fridge had splatters inside it, inside kitchen cupboards was grubby & there was grime & mold at the side and front of the bathroom vanity.
The most serious cleanliness issue for us was when we changed beds ( due to noise) and discovered the mattress protectors were filthy - formerly white but now grey & heavily stained... very unpleasant.
Noise is a problem despite double glazing to windows as there is a multi-story car park a few hindered metres away and the apartment overlooks a motorcycle parking area which also had recycling containers. On the plus side, the apartment does have two bedrooms and whilst the door in the 2nd room can’t be closed if the bed is opened out to a double, it doesn’t have a noise problem.
We found both beds very very uncomfortable with the mattresses just being foam on wooden slats.
After communicating with Kristian I’m pretty certain that all of these concerns will be addressed by the time the next person stays and we would not hesitate to book again.
