The apartment is absolutely lovely and as the pictures describe so we were not disappointed with that. There were however a few issues:
- the hosts responses were delayed by a few days (and not at all at the end) as he was traveling abroad during our stay.
- the underfloor heating was on when we came in as there are issues with it (the host did confirm this and noted it will be fixed) but that made the apartment even hotter.
- the kitchen isn't well stocked with usable frying pans so bear that in mind and bring your own/plan accordingly if you're planning on cooking at this apartment
- the middle sitting room has a wine fridge but it wasn't working properly when we were there. It gave off a strong electrical smell after we switched it on and the smell lingered on our wine bottle. So keep that in mind if you're staying here.
- finally the last set of steps to go onto the top floor has windows along it and the windows had been left open which meant a pigeon had nested there - 2 baby chicks with bird poo all over so we were unable to use the top balcony at all. Lovely to see the baby birds but dirty and smelly so not usable.
In general there seemed to be a few other airbnb / short stay rentals in the building. The locks for keys are not easily accessible and the area near them is quite dirty as they're behind bins. In general though there's a park in front of the apartment, it overlooks bins on the main street which always had rubbish outside them so not great to look at.
On the plus side, it's a quiet enough street (less road traffic then we expected) and there is a drive in through which we were able to pull up to unload our car. The station is also a close 5 minute walk away.
Kitchen towels were not there, nor was there dishwashing powder and the heat was out. The frying pans were all
