First, about the good things.
The photos correspond to the description and the first impression of the apartment is positive. The apartment is spacious, it has a nice renovation, a lot of various furniture, a washing machine, a refrigerator, a wide dining table, a lot of dishes. The knife is dull, it is true, but this is apparently done for safety reasons (if you want to cut cheese or tomatoes, take your knife).
And now about the bad things.
The first two problems are the most important ones that prevented us from living in this apartment, the rest are individual issues for each person.
1. Hot water works exactly 2-3 minutes (sometimes 30 seconds, and once we were lucky - it worked for half an hour, we managed to wash for the first time in two days!). There is some problem with the boiler. For hot water you need to turn the boiler off and on (as the hostess wrote after checking in). After this procedure, you can try to take a shower, but you need to do it quickly, you never know when the boiler will turn off and cold water will flow again.
We wrote to the hostess for two days in a row and asked to fix it, once she came to the apartment when we were not there and filmed a video of the water pouring, said that she did not see the problem. In the evening we sent her a video of how we turn on the boiler, and it works for a few seconds before the red lamp (indicating a technical failure) switches on and the boiler turns off. Then she agreed to call the master, promised he would come at noon, but no master came at that time. Instead another excuse followed in WhatsApp that she did not know when to expect him. Therefore, at 2 pm that day, we decided to move to another apartment. Before that, we lived in it for 2 days. By the way, the water has low pressure. But what's the difference if it's not hot? Although there is a difference: you cannot flush your “remnants” in the toilet, maybe from the fifth trial it will work out.
In response to our complaints, the owner of the apartment said that our rent is cheap and then it is normal that not everything is working optimally. Is it ok to rent an apartment without hot water, what do you think?
2. It is very noisy in the bedroom. In the morning you will not wake up from the alarm clock, not from the fact that you have slept, but from the noise outside the window. There is a grocery store right outside next to the window, and because of this there is a constant noise. People gather there, discuss something loudly, and shout. There is a road next to the window, you will listen not only to the visitors of the store, but also to all the cars that will pass by. I sleep very soundly at any time of the day, but I could not bear such noise and woke up. Next to the bedroom window there is a large refrigerator from the store, it hums around the clock and even when the window is closed you can hear it in the room.
3. In the bathroom the main lamp on the ceiling does not work. The hostess said that the lamp does not turn on, as if she was indifferent to this problem, she was not going to repair it. There is very little light from the lamp above the mirror, enough to brush your teeth and find the toilet without touching.
4. There is no tumble dryer. If you are washing clothes, you will have to hang them on doors, chairs, and other items to dry.
5. The bedroom door cannot be locked. If a family with children or a couple with friends comes, then the spouses will not be able to close in the bedroom for privacy. Why can't you close the bedroom door? Because someone (the owner of the apartment?) put a hanger on this door and screwed it on with screws.
6. It is impossible to live with open opaque curtains, all passers-by on the street will see you with all the details. This is not the owner's fault, but very unpleasant.
