We were very disappointed with this apartment. The pictures must be a couple years old because they did not represent what apartment we stayed in. 1) All the furniture was VERY worn, including the 'dining room' chairs which were so fragile, we didn't even sit in them for fear they'd break (both had loose / broken legs); 2) The couch was sagging forward from use so much that we couldn't really sit on it comfortably; 3) The bed was okay, comfortable enough, but was also sagging in the middle. There were no paper towels, no dish soap, and NO CLOSET (!??!). There wasn't one place to store our luggage to have it out of sight.
They say the apartment is COZY, but really, that's code for... REALLY TINY. The bathroom was so small, you get one tiny shelf and unless you're a very small, short person, the toilet is guaranteed to give you a hard time. It's squished between the tiny sink and the shower. It's a very narrow squeeze.
All of that could have been okay had it not been for the area, which is NOT as cute and quaint as described. I felt duped about this area and how much the hosts in this listing talked it up. It's a loud, rowdy area, so if you enjoy sleeping before 5am, GOOD LUCK! We stayed at the apartment for 10 days and slept terribly. Unless you like to party all night, you might want to find another place, since the bedroom faces a bar where people stand outside smoking cigarettes and drinking until 5am. It's insane.
I normally don't write reviews like this and typically bite my tongue, but this was so disappointing. We wanted a cozy, nice place to spend 10 days and instead, couldn't even sit on the furniture comfortably or spend any reasonable amount of time in the apartment. If they designed this apartment for a quick weekend trip, they should have told us the apartment isn't designed for long stays. I work from home and had to search for places to work every single day, because I couldn't even work from the apartment (chairs were nearly broken!).
Ugh. I wish I hadn't spent nearly $1000 to stay at this place. I feel genuinely ripped off.
(A couple good things? The apartment was really clean when we arrived. That was nice. And the shower is reasonably-sized for a European apartment. And good water pressure!)
