Disappointing and Mucho Noise
Check-in was awful. I paid the rental in advance, yet it was not enough... I needed a 100 Euro deposit to 'unlock' the final key code 24 hours before my stay. Since I was on an international flight I had to do this when I landed on my smartphone. The entry instructions were about 7 steps to enter (multiple codes, keys, lock boxes, etc). After many attempts and finally a phone call trying to get into the apartment it was discovered that the office had neglected to reset the code. Be aware there are no frills here: one towel each (for our 9 day stay), 1 roll of toilet paper, zero paper towels, zero ingredients in kitchen (no salt, pepper, oil, etc). Noise was ever-present (neighbors and street noise). A floor nail stuck out from the ancient floor and stabbed my foot. Furniture is worn. The sofas are actually mini foam slabs and all the furniture is low, probably to enhance the spacious-looking photos. The corners of the bathroom were filthy (hairs, dust) and small ants were constantly parading in the shower.
Some positives... the place is sunny and bright during the day and the big windows and lofted space are nice. The location is near a metro and many good places to eat. Loved having a Nespresso machine! But of course you need to buy the pods, none are provided.
