It's by far the worst place I've ever stayed in my life. A cramped room with dirty blankets and sheets, hair on the towels and bathroom wall, all kinds of stains on the wall, dirty dishes, no closet or storage space, beds that if you sit on them you'll stick to all the slats of the bed frame, and the ceiling was the roof of the building itself. The curtains were shower curtains. As if that weren't enough, there were bugs. The room was right above the door, so I heard people in various states coming and going throughout the night, because that's another thing; you can hear absolutely everything. There's no reception, so it's difficult to sort things out. They changed my room and sent me to another one just one floor up, but it was equally dirty, with a bug embedded in the wall and brownish stains. I didn't sleep. A terrifying experience, to be generous.

Nice position, easy access to all facilities in the city. The apartment is clean and tidy. Who, like us, is used to climbing high floors, without an elevator, everything is great. The owner left us juices, beer, water, jams, etc. in the fridge, very nice attention to guests. The beds are comfortable, there is plenty of natural light. We were very satisfied with our stay🙂🙂

It is good in terms of location - the city center, close to shops, Chinese restaurants, metro, city hall. It is located on the third floor of the building. The entrance door needs repair, there is a knock when opening it. The toilet is a little inconvenient compared to the sink in the bathroom, but it is tolerable. It is clean, there are the necessary things for a longer stay. I do not understand the amount they asked for as insurance for the fact that there is nothing or we will break something. And even more so I did not understand the 30 Euros that I paid for cleaning - this is the first time this has happened to me, given that we travel regularly and very often, I dare say. This caught me off guard and made my husband ask when the guest pays for the cleaning. Otherwise, in general it is good and comfortable, unless you are traveling with small children and elderly and people with limited mobility.
