We stayed at Chris’ place while our own flat has been renovated.
Jay is managing the place and is incredibly kind and helpful. She even helped us get hold of a package that was delivered to the place after we had checked out. She made the check in and check out process super smooth, which is highly appreciated.
A key point to note is that the flat is full of the owners personal belongings. There was hardly any space to place our own belongings. The wardrobe to hang coats was full, the kitchen was overflowing with things, and even the bedroom wardrobes were half full. This is not a major issue for a short stay, but it’s an issue for a long stay for someone who has a lot of their own stuff with them. Someone on a short stay would probably even appreciate all the items in the kitchen (every possible herb and spice one can think of is there, kitchen foils, every imaginable cooking equipment..). Retrospectively, we should have asked to host to remove some of the things during our stay, but we didn’t have that idea. We just moved a lot of things into the spare room.
Also, there are no living room chairs, only sofas and outdoor chairs that are stored outside so quite dirty. So it’s not good for working from home purposes.
On the positive note, the place had a lot of amenities - a lot of towels, soaps, etc.
The parking space is tight to get into, so only for experienced parkers, I scratched the car 😉
