This property really wasn't for me. I found the host very intense. When we arrived, we were hit with rules like no shoes past the front door and strict locking of the door was mentioned to us more than once.
While the room was clean, it was very hard to relax as it felt like the host was on top of us and I felt nervous that I would do something wrong.
On our second night, after leaving the window open to air the apartment room, our room was freezing. I texted the host at 11:50pm to see if it was possible for the heating to be turn on. First the host messaged back to ask me to knock into his brother room about the issue and then rang me after midnight to say he would be in the apartment in an hour to turn on the heating..which didn't happen.
The following morning and after not sleeping too well, I complained to the person I was with, that I couldn't sleep as the window didn't blackout curtains which caused me to wake at 6:30 am. I also had a sense that we were being listened to from outside our room. As my companion when to get coffee for us, she was met by the host straight away, he gave her a blackout curtain thing aswell giving her a subtle telling off about leaving the window open and not locking the door properly. The host also mentioned to me about the windows and I had to assert that isn't was abnormal to leave a window open in an apartment. This ruined the visit to this property for me as we had paid good money to us the room and we didn't deserve to be treated like this. The noise of the trains that was outside the property was also problematic but in saying that, this was outside the hosts control.
I was happy leave this property and won't be returning. Now, I am aware that all this may not bother other people, but it did bother me. I didn't like being listened to or having so many rules or issues hitting us when all we want was to have a nice city brake in peace.
