The host was very communicative about how to access the flat and did a great job informing us on the details and making us feel welcome.
The shower was recently updated and looked beautiful while also being incredibly refreshing after long days exploring the amazing city.
Unfortunately, the remainder of the flat’s situation was less refreshing. The listing’s images depict a mounted television that has long since been removed, furniture that is no longer in the flat, and a bedroom configuration that has been rearranged - but the reality was an awkward TV placed on a random table, bedroom doors that didn’t open as they were blocked by an oddly placed cabinet, and cheap looking and feeling furniture that didn’t meet the expectations set by the photos.
The larger bed was uncomfortable and incredibly loud - with even the slightest movement.
The WiFi signal was weak. So weak that, while we were told the only television viewing option was Netflix on the television set via WiFi, the television couldn’t actually receive signal enough to play a streaming program. And our personal devices could only utilize WiFi from the larger bedroom... with the incredibly loud bed frame.
The flat was described as ‘contemporary’ and the furniture was stated to be on par with mid-century modern, I’d say those descriptions are a ways off - it may be more accurate to describe the flat as ‘shabby-chic’ or ‘eclectic,’ but even those terms are being generous.
The beautifully appointed outdoor space shown in photos was also a disappointing reality as the terrace furniture was dilapidated and broken, rendering the rooftop space nearly unusable.
If I’m being fully honest, after one day in the flat, we were incredibly disappointed that we had booked for several nights. The location was centrally located, so we were able to easily reach any destination quickly- which was a blessing since the space itself wasn’t ideal.
