Absolutely nothing. Everything was perfect.

The apartment is located on a quiet side street (2nd floor, with elevator!), close to tram and trolleybus stops, providing quick access to the city center. It's also easily reachable on foot through a lovely park. A large supermarket with extended opening hours is just 200 meters away. The apartment has a very good layout and is very well and functionally furnished. The kitchen is very well equipped, and there are plenty of cleaning supplies and towels. The bathroom with shower is a bit small, but the separate toilet is a real plus. There is ample closet and storage space. The practical furnishings make the apartment feel very spacious. We were personally welcomed by the very friendly landlady. Communication beforehand was excellent. Since parking in Brno is somewhat difficult and usually costs money, she provided us with excellent assistance. The landlady showed us around the apartment and even had a few little surprises in store for us – wonderful! With a washing machine and dishwasher, the apartment is also suitable for a longer stay.

The apartment is situated in a quiet residential area, with very good access to public transport, be it bus or Tram. There are several restaurants nearby. A supermarket is situated about 2 minutes walk from the buildings' entrance. The main city square is about 20 minutes from the apartment, as is the pedestrianised area. Everything was provided as listed. Water and beer were also provided and available for consumption. Laundry and cleaning products are provided for guests' use. Portable Floor mounted fans are provided as there is no air-conditioning. A large separate lounge area is provided together with a sofa. 2 separate entrances are provided to the Kitchen, Lounge area, and the bedroom. The two large wardrobes which are provided for guests' use contain many hangers for clothes. Be aware that the key may need to be collected from a nearby restaurant. Guests will be advised if this is required. I never did meet the host.

The shower screen had only been cleaned using the supplied rubber blade. This fails to provide a smear free finish. Despite the bathroom and toilet being in separate rooms, only 1 hand towel was provided. The circular grooved part of the shower head bracket was worn. Meaning that when the shower head was stowed, unless it was pointing upwards, its weight would cause the bracket to tilt downwards, thus causing the shower head to fall onto the floor of the shower tray. Storage space in the bathroom is limited, with the top of the laundry basket being the main source of shelving space. With more space being provided inside the wardrobes, which are situated in the hallway between the entrance door and the toilet. Only a small dustpan and brush are provided. Given the apartments' size, a larger brush would be more useful. Alternatively, a vacuum cleaner would be even better. I have stayed in several smaller apartments where one has been provided. It makes keeping the apartment clean a lot easier.
