We are a family of 5 (parents and children aged 15, 13 and 3). We stayed at this place for 3 nights in May 2022.
Positive points:
- The apartment is nicely located in a quiet neighbourhood, and there is a small grocery store pretty near.
- The apartment is spacious: there is a large livingroom and a bedroom.
- The host replied rather quickly to my queries once we had arrived to the apartment. They brought us more toilet paper, knives and forks and hand towels after I complained that there were none or not enough.
Negative points:
- Communication was bad, I contacted the host several times before our trip to ask whether there would surely be enough beds for all of us, because all I could see in the photos was a double bed and a sofa. I never got any other reply than "we will send you information later", or something along these lines. I also tried to find out about the parking place beforehand, but only received the information when we had already arrived to Sweden.
- In the end, there were no beds for all of us. Apparently the host had thought that two teenage boys could sleep in the sofa, but it was all lumpy (somehow broken I guess) and could not be slept on at all. There was only one inflatable mattress available in the apartment. Luckily we had brought one extra mattress with us from home. But still one of our children didn't have a bed at all.
- There were no fire or gas alarms to be seen, so I am guessing there is a safety hazard here.
- The walls of the apartment are like paper, you can hear what the neighbours are saying even when they are talking in a normal voice...
- The kitchen is rather outdated and there weren't enough spoons, knives and forks for all 5 of us, so we couldn't eat at the same time.
- There were no hand towels or kitchen towels/kitchen roll at all, and not enough toilet paper :)
All in all, it is a nice apartment, but would definitely need some updates to be able to accommodate 5 people. I got a small compensation because there were not enough beds available. The host could fix this problem easily, as well as all the other negative things we experienced, and then it would be a nice place to stay.
