Disappointing

  : Unfortunately, nothing at all.
  : They made me wait for the keys delivery 30 minutes in the rain, even had booked the meet. The place needs a renovation ASAP, is old and dark. Only pick this place if you cant find anything else inside you budget.

  : Location is great, although loud/noisy at night (but comes with the area).
  : The whole key situation was a hot mess. You have to travel quite a distance to collect the key. Then they check your card again (even though you already payed) plus they again found out I was travelling with my dog (communicated in the reservation), and they took another 400 euro deposit (for damages). The whole inventory of the apartment is not even worth that. From a "bad apple" perspective I get it, but yeah. The apartment itself pretty standard and plain. Low-end IKEA design vibe. The bathroom you basically cannot stand in. Bedroom and kitchen you can easily stand upright. Livingroom though also you have to watch your head. Overall they could greatly ease the whole check-in situation by just putting a key-locker outside and share a code. Apartment itself is O.K., but for what it is, overprized.

  : The mattress in the bedroom was quite uncomfortable to sleep on. Additionally, many of the drawers were broken when we tried using them to store our clothes in. The shower head needs to be changed as well, it was quite weak and only trickled out water.

Very Poor

  : Hard to think of a positive side.
  : Keys pickup - it was not noted clearly that we have to pick them up at a different location. We arrived tried to contact them and after a bunch of calles they cancelled we figured out that we have to take a bus and go get the keys. Second - the apartment is at the rooftop - good luck carrying your suitcase. Third the ceiling is SO low that you have to bend to be able to walk. Four you have to pay a deposit. Five the neighbourhood did not feel safe - I wouldn't go out at night. Beware of the google maps - we had to carry luggage up the steep hill where the lifts ride.

  : The kitchen was well equipped. We really liked the convector, however it was not always enough. The bedroom was fine, it was the most comfortable room in the flat.
  : The bed was a little bit short, and taller people might have problem with the ceiling too. The bathtub was also too small, it would be better with a shower curtain. Littlebit dark, there are small windows.
