Overall pleasant stay. The flat is as advertised, clean and bright. The size of the studio was perfect for one person or 2 close friends / family members. The kitchen is well appointed and they have cleaning supplies and extra toiletries available. I didn’t realize this until after I bought some laundry detergent to do. But I didn’t mind that, it was a pleasant surprise to just to know that had been available to me.
The bathroom was a good size and the shower was nice.
There is plenty of public transportation around and it is east to get to other parts of the city.
There were a few cons -
For the duration of the stay I could not use the WiFi on my laptop. I was able to connect, but could not load any sites or do anything on the internet. It worked on my phone and I could go to a near by coffee shop if I needed to use my laptop. I reached out to Raluca halfway through the stay but it was not able to be resolved.
The following cons are outside of Raluca’s control but worth considering:
As a solo female traveler, I was slightly uncomfortable walking around at night and opted to use Ubers instead of public transportation. If I was traveling with one other person, I would have felt fine.
The outside/common areas of the building need an update. The car park in front of the building is overgrown with weeds and there is old bedding in the corner. The front door creaks very loudly, the walls are thin so you hear the other residents, and the hallway is dingy and dark.
That being said - the price of the flat cannot be beat. You really do get a lot for the price and overall I would recommend staying at Raluca’s flat.
