We enjoyed our stay at this apartment but there were a few downsides. Overall we’d stay here again.
The good parts
Good location, lovely tree lined street
The owners are very nice, willing to help with things, and thoughtful.
The flat is nicely decorated and well thought out for the most part
Super well equipped place with everything you’d need for cooking etc..
It was extremely clean upon moving in
Clear instructions on how to use everything.
The bad parts
Noise: there was a dog the barked non stop for hours in a nearby garden, the pipes are extremely loud (lived in old houses all my life and never heard anything this loud). There is a neighbour that came back and ran the water for a long time on several occasions and it’s loud enough to keep both of us awake.
Lack of privacy. There is a large window which looks out onto the opposite side of the street. There is no blind or curtain which means more than half the apartment is visible to the neighbours across the street. Feels a little too open at times. In the bedroom the back door to the terrace also has a curtain but it doesn’t cover the top portion of the window meaning the bedroom is also overlooked by other windows a little bit and there’s nothing you can do you to block it. We could also hear normal level conversations from other apartments if they had the window open.
Parking: to be fair the owner doesn’t say parking is free, but they charged us 10$ a day for visitor parking permits. This seems a little bit steep considering the daily price of the Airbnb.
