  : Ivana the caretaker was lovely to deal with, the location of the property is great but again due to all the things I have listed above I wouldn't recommend this apartment to people nor would I stay here again, which is sad because like I stated it is a beautiful and stylishly designed apartment in a great location but impractical in some of the most basic ways with ceanliness issues.
  : On the face of it the apartment is stylishly refurbished but suffers from several cleanliness and a couple of major practical issues.The microwave as well as several plates and pots still had pieces of food stuck to them, the toilet brush is so badly rusted it fell apart upon first use and requires constantly pushing back together, the brush itself is also filthy. On a toilet note the provided paper is ridiculously thin which considering the price paid is poor. The kitchen drawers could use a good clean with several left over crumbs in a couple of drawers, not to mention the cutlery also required washing. I had to pull out a ridiculous amount of dust from the hoover in order to get any useful suction so I have no idea when this was last emptied.There is a pillar that overlaps the sink which means you cannot stand directly in front of the sink when washing dishes (yes there is a dishwasher but my experience with dish washers was rarely a success with many things requiring re washing, which was most definitely the case in this apartment. So in order to use the sink you have to twist your body 45 degrees just to wash dishes, on another impracticable note despite the apartment being modern the WiFi certainly is not, with a 6gb's a second connection speed this meant my gf struggled to continue to work during our stay. According to other reviews it seems we are not the only complainaints, with my phone and laptop losing connection frequently during our stay. Unable to reset the router as it is located in the other apartment according to another review I read.The mattress is also far too soft which meant a few uncomfortable nights sleep, on top of that is the selfish neighbours above who will hoover at sometimes 10/11pm at night.

  : Nice and beautiful apartment with everything and everything working
  : The apartment is on the 4th floor, and there is no elevator, and access to your tired and arduous apartment is by stairs

  : I liked one of the hosts (Ivana) who was very friendly and accommodating. I liked that the apartment is basically a studio and it was small enough to get it cooled down during hot summer days but big enough for your basic needs. I like that it has a nice size balcony and I liked that it was renovated and looks modern.
  : I didn't like that the host(s) doesn't pay his dues to maintain the elevator which is functional by the way BUT that his tenants cannot use because they are not provided the elevator key and hence if you have an older parent with you or someone who cannot climb the stairs easily, it becomes a hassle because of this inconvenience because the studio is on the 4th floor. I also didn't like that the host advertised that they offer Wi-Fi where in fact they don't because the router is in the other apartment they are renting and the signal is not strong enough to have a stable wireless connection.

  : The worst experience I have ever had. There were dirty when we arrived and first thing that we did - we took the vacuum cleaner and cleaned. There was some unpleasant smell. Also curtains smelled of smoke. From the morning somebody drilled behind the wall all day the whole week, it was very noisy and unreal to stay in the apartment. You can not use the elevator. It requires a key which the host doesn't give to you. The wash machine didnt work (we didn't understand how to turn it on at the beginning), we texted about it to the host, but he answered like: Youve just arrived and already use a wash machine! Go to laundry, its near. And wash machine works. It was rude. Nobody said before that we have to pay for a dog. We took cash only for an apartment (price in our booking), so we had to go to ATM for additional sum. It isnt convenient when you dont have time for that. And opposite the window is the window of another house which seems very creepy.

  : Comfortable, clean and nice apartment, good location in the city center. The cleaning lady comes every 6-8 days, she is very friendly and pleasant in communication. They made White paper for us.
  : Terrible communication with customers: rude, aggressive, "leave if you don't like it." If you think I'm exaggerating, you can look at the responses to the reviews with a low rating - you will get same if there are problems. This cannot be attributed to translation errors (the staff does not speak English, communication is written through a translator), because aggression and mockeries are obvious. After the first interaction, we just didn't ask about anything else, we didn't want to spoil our mood. I think this is the purpose of such answers. There is an elevator in the building, but it is not accessible. Perhaps they don't want to pay for it, although the story of why it is unavailable is probably always different. It's pretty hard to get up with suitcases. If somewhere in the reviews there is an answer "The elevator has already been repaired" - I do not recommend believing, I believed and dragged heavy suitcases.
