The apartment has a lot of potential and some genuinely lovely features. It is very spacious, with two large main bedrooms with comfortable beds and a great open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. The wooden flooring gives some of the rooms real character, and having air conditioning in the living room and both main bedrooms was very welcome. The large terrace has a beautiful view over Bucharest, and the location is excellent and very convenient for exploring the city.

Unfortunately, the apartment currently feels quite neglected and no longer reflects the “luxurious” standard presented in the listing photographs. This was particularly disappointing as the photos and the large terrace were a major reason we chose the property. The terrace has enormous potential and a wonderful view, but during our stay it was largely unusable as a relaxing space. Most of the plants were dead or dying and the outdoor furniture and cushions were worn and dirty. The living room also differed from the listing photographs. The large plant shown in the photos was dead and had been removed, one of the armchairs was missing, and we found the sofa very uncomfortable. There were also several signs of poor maintenance throughout the apartment, including exposed wires, a missing exterior handle on the terrace door and a bedroom door that would not remain closed unless locked. The small bathroom floor flooded when using the shower, and the very long curtains throughout the apartment were difficult to manage. Overall, it feels as though the listing photographs were taken when the apartment was in a much better condition. This is a real shame because the property has great character, space, an excellent location and a fantastic terrace, and with some investment and proper maintenance it could once again be a beautiful apartment. Unfortunately, in its present condition, we did not feel that describing it as “luxurious” accurately reflected what we experienced.

Location was perfect, and a very nice appartment. Everything was as good as could be expected. Friendly staff! Helpful.

Small issues with the elevator, it stoped a couple of times, but managed to get it started again.

Excellent location, large and comfortable, great host communication, good value for money.

Its location

Required updating, being on the 7th floor when the very old lifts failed to work walking 7 flights of stairs as an OAP was tiring. The patio area lighting was poor and required redecoration. The water heater was hit or miss so showering was a trial!!
