The physical key was very easy to collect; I would have used the app but for some reson, it didn't work. The staff in charge at a nearby office were very helpful. I was able to store my luggage there until the room was ready with no problem. The apartment is in a good location - on a busy street with Aldi, Tesco and Lidl supermarkets nearby as well as a great bookstore and many pubs and restaurants. The downside ws that since it was on a very busy stree, it was noisy. Closing the windows helped a lot.

The noise.

Everything

None

The apartment was spacious and had plenty of natural light. The kitchen area was nice, as was the sofa in the shared living area. The bathroom was also spacious. Overall, the apartment and its facilities were very good. As for the location, it’s very well connected to the city center. There’s a supermarket nearby, which makes it really convenient to buy groceries and food to prepare at home.

What we didn’t like, and what really made our experience harder, was the security system to get into the building. You constantly had to use an app, and that app required being registered with a phone number that could receive text messages. Since we were foreigners without an active local number or SIM card, it was really hard for us to have easy access, at least until we finally set up an electronic SIM card. On top of that, it required internet access all the time, which limited us quite a bit. So we would suggest a much simpler way to get in, maybe something like a unique code for each guest staying in the building. Despite being in a very central area, it’s worth pointing out that it’s not mentioned that just below or to one side of the apartment there’s a casino bar. And the casino bar closes really late, so at night you can clearly hear noise in the bedrooms. Almost every night we had issues with the surrounding noise. And even though the transit connection is good, there was always noise in general. So that’s definitely something to keep in mind. Also, some nights it sounded like there was furniture being moved around upstairs, which made it hard to sleep on a few occasions.

La posizione è centrale (anche se il quartiere è malfrequentato).

La pulizia lasciava a desiderare...capelli sull'asse del water, tende fatiscenti e stoviglie sporche. Il bollitore pieno di calcare e le padelle vecchie, sporche con l'antiaderenza rovinato. Lo sciacquone ricaricava con una lentezza esasperante: in 4 persone l'unica soluzione era alternare l'uso di pentole piene d'acqua. Ogni tanto spuntava qualche altro ospite a 6 zampe sia in bagno che in cucina. Le porte erano tutte cigolanti, sia all'interno che all'esterno dell'appartamento: per quella del bagno, quella maggiormente usata, per alleviare il supplizio acustico abbiamo messo dell'olio nei cardini.
