Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The apartment is located in a beautiful old neighborhood and the staff is very friendly and helpful, but there are some peculiarities that become apparent only upon arrival. The description said the apartment is two-level, but we were surprised to discover that the bedroom is a completely separate room upstairs with no bathroom or toilet. The kitchen and bathroom are on the ground floor, and to get from one to the other, you have to go through the srairs used by neighbors from above. The old staircase takes some getting used to, but after a day, you can walk normally. The mattresses are comfortable, but there are two of them and they keep sliding apart, meaning it's not a double mattress, but two singles on a double bed. It's inconvenient that there are no outlets near the bed. The air conditioning in the bedroom worked perfectly, but the kitchen was hot in mid-September. The kitchen is well-equipped, but there is no cutting board, and the toaster didn't work. Another thing to keep in mind is that the locks on each door are without catches and slam easily. The emergency assistance from the agency works very well, but to open the room with the key inside we had to pay 50 :( Overall, we are satisfied, the old house and the location of the apartment in the old center compensate for some inconveniences.
