Disliked: Cleanliness

This property was directly next to the bus stop which while very convenient, also meant there were unhoused men outside screaming starting at 5am multiple days of our trip. The inside of the apartment was not only damp, but the carpets were literally wet, towels etc would not dry even in front of open windows. The smoke detector beeped incessantly until we finally changed it ourself. Lastly, the dirty bowels in the kitchen cabinets were a lovely touch.

Liked: Room comfort, communication

citynahe Lage, klein und ausreichend, Schlafcouch im Livingroom ungenügend - 2cm dünne Matratze, leider war die Küche nicht sauber geputzt, sehr schmutzige Waschmaschine, es fehlte an Kücheninventar (grosse Töpfe), Eingangsbereich sehr eng (in der Beschreibung mit "wheelfriendly" angegeben, Koffer mussten über die Couch in den Livingroom gehoben werden).
