We were two people and had booked this AirBnB for 7 nights. First of all: The apartment appeared as described, maybe a little bit smaller but very nice decorated. All in all we liked it, but there were some things that could definitely be improved to justify the high price.
1. Positive aspects and what we really appreciated:
- the fast communication
-It was very clean
- 2 balconies (a big one to one side and a tiny one to the other)
- location (old city center) with bars and shopping options just around the corner
-quiet neighbours
- elevator/lift
2. Negative aspects and what could be improved:
- very, very few equipment in the kitchen
- few towels for one week (we asked for some more and got them 2 days later)
- little toilet paper
- very steep stairs to get to the balcony/terrace
- No protected balcony! When we arrived, it had rained the day before. All the set of seals, cushions and blankets were thoroughly wet so we could not sit on them or use the terrace as described. During our stay it rained several times. The host asked us via Whats App to put all the clothes inside every time. But actually there is hardly any space to put them somewhere. Thus we put all the things inside and outside (that it could dry in the sun) several times during that week. We did not like that process at all. Yes, we like to take care of others’ equipment. But we do not like to pay so much money for something a protection or host could do. Because there is no (rain-/sun-) protection at the balcony we couldn't have breakfast there when the sun was shining because it is just too hot. All in all, we couldn’t really use the balcony. That’s a shame because it was the main reason for us to rent the apartment in the first place.
- We had the same feeling as another AirBnB-user: the personal touch is missing. In comparison to other AirBnB- Superhosts, who put some flowers, chocolate or little things in the fridge, this apartment is “just a rented apartment”.
Additional advice: keep some earplugs with you because it can get loud at night (bars, restaurant and street-cleaning).
