Great location, very nice view at the 10th floor

Old furniture

The checkin was simple: pick up the keys in a safe. No hassle. Everything was laid out in the room (towels, bedsheets), with a small 'cleaning' pouch with the basics to wash dishes and clean a table top. Checkout was simple too: just drop the keys in a letterbox after tidying the apartment / studio.

The frontdoors are open to the general public 24/7 and due to lack of a reception & staff, anybody can walk into the building and an to the floors where you stay. There's no security code to enter the building. I find that odd. My room was on the floor where you enter (=reception level), which is officially the 4th floor. The hallway to the room smelled really strongly. Upon entry in the room, you have the feeling the door handle could fall off anytime. Space: In the room, I found it hard to believe that a family of 4 or 5 could stay there happily for a week without filing for divorce or getting therapy. There's one double bed and two sofa beds, that when you unfold them take up the entire living 'room' space. I was alone, so I didn't need to unfold them, yet I still thought it was a bit cramped. The small terrace allowed you to escape the cramped feeling, with a nice view of the mountains. Quality finishing: well, let's say not a lot happened since they built it in the 60's. Except for replacing some kitchen appliances and new bathroom tiles. But the rest.... and there was a dusty smell in the room, but less strong than in the corridor. The only photo which was in line with what I found in my apartment was the bathroom. The other photos are not at all in line with what I saw and give a far more positive picture of what you think you'll get than what you'll encounter in reality.
