While this flat is wonderfully located, it has some issues. My friend and I were asked when we were intending to arrive at the flat and indicated that it would be before 10, yet there was no one to let us in out of the cold and rain for over 15 minutes. We strongly recommend that you request the host’s phone number upon the confirmation of your stay or else you will be waiting for hours for a response via AIRBNB’s message platform.
For one the bed was very hard and the springs extremely painful and uncomfortable, making a good night’s sleep all but impossible.
The noise levels were quite high as the walls were paper thin (as in we had the privilege of a private concert featuring songs from popular musicals from the neighbors next door) and the windows exceptionally loud at all hours from the street noise and the general rattling of loose fixtures. In the description the host states that the flat is brightly lit and has high ceilings, this could not be further from the truth.
Note: While there is a hairdryer, you will need to invest in paper towels and toilet paper as well as your other toiletries and tea. Yes, tea is provided, but it tastes very past its best by date.
