First, what we liked here. We loved that we were staying in the city center, close to metro, restaurants, monuments.. Quite a large room with 1 large bed and sofa, a little kitchen corner, and a bathroom. Very simplistic decoration, airy, we liked it. And the fresh fruit, delicious. Now what we didn't like. Mostly the noise of the air-conditioning and on the street (thanks to tourists from France and UK) just under the windows during the whole night (2am, 4.30am), every night (we stayed from Thursday to Monday). So basically, we were so tired as if we had partied ourselves. Definitely avoid if you want to get rest. Maybe better isolation, a thicker window may help. Then the sheets were not changed,and towels only the 3rd day because we asked. The pictures on the walls - a bit creepy, really didn't like it. And the black mold on the wall next to the window - something should be done about it. The sofa seemed quite old, with some stains, may be worth replacing. Better cups and bowls would be great. The breakfast was not waw, having to eat pastry and bread from the day before when there are bakeries very close by. Not enough butter and cheese for every day.

It is an uncomfortable apartment. It wants to be modern, but that industrial style seems furnished more with things found on the street than modern. When you entered it smelled strange. We don't know if it's from the apartment itself, humidity or the restaurant they have underneath. The worst of all was the bathroom, dark and without a shower tray. You bathe on the same floor and drain into a hole with a rubber brush. Incredible. Mold on the ceiling, in the rest of the bathroom it is impossible to see it with that color and so little light. The rooms with industrial plastic walls, as if they were containers. The beds are boxed in, making it difficult and uncomfortable to get in and out. At least the mattress was comfortable. The living room, with a table, two old chairs, a small armchair and a stool. Not practical for a family of four. It also had two uncomfortable armchairs (one of them completely cracked and covered with a sheet). If you wanted to rest a little, better directly in bed. The kitchen has a piece of furniture with insufficient kitchenware for a family, in addition to each cup, plate, glass... in a different way. It feels old. The microwave and mini refrigerator at the foot of the floor, quite uncomfortable. Coffee in a glass jar, to share with anyone. Breakfast is left at your door, in a basket the afternoon before. Good sweets, acceptable bread. We only saw a lady cleaning the room when we arrived (and we arrived half an hour later than check-in time). The owner speaks to you on WhatsApp, in English. And on the last day he doesn't even ask you how it went, he just reminds you to leave the fees with the keys 😒 The location saves him. But nothing else.
