Good but Room for Improvement
This place is about a 15 min walk from the train station and is in a quieter area although still a quick 10/15 min walk to the city centre. The communication with the hosts was great and the check in instructions were clear.
The unit itself could be better. It was clean but a little extra attention could go a long way. The kitchen is well stocked overall but they are lacking a dish towel, dish cloth and the drain plug doesn’t seal the sink so it doesn’t hold water to wash the dishes. Additionally, there are no wine glasses which would be a nice option and the corkscrew was broken.
On arrival the main AC remote wasn’t working so I had to swap out the batteries from the TV remote to the AC remote and then the AC in the second bedroom doesn’t seem to be connected to this remote so we weren’t able to adjust the temperature in that room. This is the room myself and my infant were sleeping so it wasn’t ideal to not be able to adjust the temperature.
From a security perspective the building doors were locked but the unit itself doesn’t have a deadbolt which for sleeping overnight would have given me better piece of mind. They clearly added the new keypad lock but did not consider changing the door frame to accommodate the new deadbolt.
My final suggestion would be to have hand soap in the bathroom. Since we were travelling with an infant and changing diapers we bought some and left it so hopefully the people that come after appreciate it as well.
