The only positive note is the central location.

Disliked

Poor cleanliness, poor comfort, terrible... 4 points are only for the location. The building's hallway was dark, so we had to bring a flashlight with us every time. One evening, we even witnessed a disgusting scene of two young men making out on the landing. The room wasn't very clean, the bathroom was tiny, and there was no carpet. The only positive is the location; the rest is completely unworthy.

Nothing. We had to have a discution about our booking. After 20 min. We left to take a break, thene we call'd they proclamide there was a water damage, that was a lie because we meet some guys out infront of the building. They just arrived and they offered cash money. Also they said they had cancled it but they lied. They just wanted more money. Don't ever rent there if you want to be treated with a little bit respect

"No comment !"

Absolutely nothing

Disliked

Terrible cleanliness, yellow and dirty mattresses, bugs everywhere in the house, no hot water, old-fashioned heating, non-existent fridge, no hair dryer. In the photos it looks nice and tidy but in reality it's the complete opposite, maybe they were photos from 20 years ago when they did the work. I preferred to sleep outside on the benches 😅

"Not the accommodation I booked"

Disliked

The apartment we stayed in was a half an hour walk from where it said the apartment was located. There was a bad smell, it wasn't clean and we felt very uneasy about staying there due to the apartment not being anywhere near the location that it said on booking.com. A very disappointing experience.
