Sunny Old Town Apartments

  : Location is excellent (2 mins walk into old town, also close to public transport links), apartment is clean and mostly well-equipped.
  : There was no remote for the AC, and no apparent way to operate the AC unit without it. We messaged the owners for advice on day 1, but they didnt reply. It was a really hot weekend in Bucharest, so this made the apartment uncomfortable at times.

  : ** No shower curtain shower is a hand-held set-up, that can be afixed to the wall over a wonderfully, large, spacious bath (if liking to bathe). ** I am 71 years of age & my husband, is 85 & though we are both fit, we found getting into the bath to stand under the shower, the bath/shower base became a real safety concern for us both. Though very clean, when wet, we found the base was incredibly slippery & we really would have appreciated a non-slip shower mat + a grab hand rail. ** Tassel ended floor mat in one section of the apartment was, we felt, a potential tripping hazard; have almost tripped once, we certainly be became aware of it & henceforth we were more careful. ** This last comment is NOT applicable to What didnt you like ? just an observation. Owing to the vintage of the building complex, the lift is a one-person + luggage size being only a single door width, not the conventional double-opening doors. This is not a problem a couple / group of people just need to make 2 or more trips according to the number of persons. Having the convenience of a lift certainly surpasses stairs only access !!! Note: 1) The building comprises 2 sections with a separate lift for each - be sure to note the section for the apartment you have booked. 2) After entering through the buildings 2 doorways, there are 6 stairs to reach the lift lobby. Our apartment was on the first floor, the grey-door lift being immediately to the left after climbing the stairs. (There are 18 stairs to the first floor, if wanting to use the stairway instead of the lift.)

  : Great location, good communication from the owner to collect keys. Comfortable room with self catering facilities. It's not luxurious but it's very reasonably priced and we were very happy with the room.
  : Would have liked a full length mirror.
