What guests are saying
The building work near by was a bit annoying.
In fairness they didn't start till 8-30 -9.0am
The apartment inside was very clean.
The balcony and the outside-furniture was dirty and had to be cleaned by myself before using it. Many bulbs were out of order(in the washing-machine closet, in the kitchen). The cupboard in the second (kid’s) room was full of stuff, so it could not really be used for clothes storage. One of the cupboard doors did not work properly. There was very little storage space because the cupboards in the living and dining room were full of stuff as well. The WiFi did almost not work! The worst thing was a big construction site directly below the apartement, very noisy all day. Sleeping in the morning or eating outside was almost impossible because of construction noise. That was disappointing!
It’s a lovely, clean apartment in a nice location.
However, there were no basic cooking amenities such as oil or black pepper. I didn’t go out every night as I have a toddler, so I cooked sometimes, and it would have been nice to have a few basic kitchen essentials provided, as many Airbnbs do. The TV was also not working due to a weak signal, so we weren’t able to use it at all during our stay, which wasn’t ideal with a toddler. I tried calling the phone number provided to see if I could get any help, but it was not available……. The wi-fi wasn’t great , very hit and miss. Apart from that, it’s a nice apartment and we enjoyed our stay.
