I’ll start with the positive things. The apartment is as expected, if a little unclean. The neighbourhood is very nice, and the location is good, as it is close to a nice cafe and the T-bana. However, there are a couple of things that we wish we knew before booking the apartment:
- this apartment is not suitable for long term stays, certainly not if you are trying to sleep early. We booked for 3 months, since we just moved here and we’re looking for somewhere to stay while we bought an apartment. Since the building is very old, you can hear footsteps constantly, and when the front door opens it is like someone is in the living room. In my opinion, one week maximum is best for this place.
- I would not recommend this apartment in the winter. There is some kind of issue with the water and it did not heat up for the shower. We took cold showers for almost 2 months, we ended up leaving early because of it.
Other than that it was fine. We had an unfortunate check in, since the people who had rented the apt the might before had completely trashed it and locked the cleaning person out. While he was slow
to respond (understandable because it was New Year’s Day) Andreas handled the situation well and offered to pay for a night in a hotel. The cleaning job was not very thorough, there were snus packets under the furniture, some kind of concealer or makeup smeared on the walls, and when I washed the sheets for our bed there was part of a cigarette packet between the mattress and the box spring.
Overall kind of disappointing for our purposes, but I think this would be a good place to stay for a short vacation.
