“Loved feeling like a prisoner in a basement with no windows or natural light. The bed was so cramped for two adults, it was like a cozy coffin. And don't get me started on the delightful surprise I found in the bathroom trash can! I'll cherish that memory forever.”

“Great location, clean, well-equipped kitchen, easy self check-in, baby-friendly amenities.”

8.1Verified guest

“We had a fantastic stay at this apartment. The location was perfect, close to all amenities in a very charming neighborhood that was vibrant but also quiet enough for a good night's sleep. The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed, including a baby crib that was prepared for us with all the necessary bedding. The kitchen, although small, had all the essentials such as a microwave, electric kettle, and dishes. The self check-in process was super easy. The apartment was equipped with both an AC and a heater, which quickly warmed up the rooms during our December stay. There was also a large supermarket just a 3-minute walk away. This apartment was perfect for our needs.”
