This place has a high potential but unfortunately we didn’t have a good experience with Nick's accommodation. We have stayed here for 12 nights and to be very honest and open - it was a big mistake to book this place.
It has all started with our arrival late at midnight. We booked room A with private bathroom and toilet. The room was uncleaned from the previous guests - the bedsheets were unchanged, no towels at all and not even hand soap in the bathroom. There was rubbish under the bed, in the closet and hair and body hair all over the place. The floor was sticky and dirty as well as the switches on the wall. We also killed a cockroach the first night. Luckily no other has appeared since then. It was a huge shock for us but we have decided to stay as we were ensured by Nick during the next day phone call that he will take care of it. So the cleaner arrived that day and gave it a quick clean. It did not changed the fact that we spent the first night in the dirty bedsheets from someone else.
The equipment of the room and the kitchen is in a bad condition. Especially the mattress should be changed! It was a nightmare for us to sleep on old poor condition mattress after whole day of walking. Mould is present in the bathroom in the bathtub and also on the sealing. The bath sink is clogged every time you want to wash hands and water stays in the sink for a long time after that. Doors, door handle and walls are dirty and sticky as you touch them. Windows are not cleaned, so every time you want to open them you have dirty hands after. VERY DIRTY are also curtains - it’s been told us they can't change them because the pelmet is fixed on the wall so they can't put them down and wash - so nice to know it hasn’t been washed since someone put them up!
In the room you hear dogs barking very often in the early morning. The other sound that disturbed us was the shower and toilet behind the wall of our room which is common bathroom for guest from room B and C. The flat has very thin walls so you can hear basically everything.
The common area is kitchen and living room. It is not cleaned on regular basis! During our two week stays no one has ever cleaned it. Only rubbish bins were taken out. Even though people are cleaning the kitchen every time they use it - it is not enough - the place needs to be cleaned every few days properly by the cleaner - hoovering, dusting and cleaning surfaces. The fridge is full of food which doesn’t belong to anybody because they had left already.
We didn’t feel safe in the neighbourhood. There is a lot of noise on the street in front the house. The people were extremely loud and played music or arguing on the street almost every night.
Only good thing about this apartment is the location to the subway. In few minutes you are in the station and you can get to the most touristy attractions, bus or train station.
We don’t know how is possible that this place is 5 star airbnb because it is NOT 5 star at all!
The place has really potential but with this kind of care is the worst accommodation we've ever stayed.
Unfortunately we can’t recommend this place.
