• 10.010.0 out of 10 Our stay in the apartment was wonderful—we had everything we needed, and it’s a very nice place.

  The apartment was right in the center of the old town, with everything close at hand. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted. Great atmosphere and a quiet street.

  Could be better: I was surprised that after the booking was confirmed, a mandatory €250 deposit was requested. It is supposed to be refunded if nothing is damaged in the apartment, but the exact conditions or any pricing list for potential damages were not clearly explained. I would recommend clearly stating this deposit requirement upfront during the booking process, rather than only after the reservation is made.

• 7.07.0 out of 10 Well situated modern apartment

  Lovely, newly refurbished, modern apartment in a great location just in the old town on a pretty street, main shopping street 2mins away, supermarket the same. Cafes and bars further down the street. Train station is a very easy 10min walk away. Spacious apartment, comfy beds. Very useful videos sent showing how to get in, working heating/AC etc. Manager checked we'd got in ok as we were arriving at midnight.

  Could be better: Kitchen very basically equipped - no real cooking utensils, only one of the 2 pans work on the induction hob, no dishtowel (there apparently should have been, we ended up buying our own). Water pressure is a bit iffy due to a regional water shortage since Oct 25. First time having issues in an apartment and the manager wasn't overly proactive in solving them, or communications.

  Apartment is new and quite nice.

  Could be better: - The hosts don't provide keys to the apartment; entry is via an electronic code that gets stuck and shuts down completely when the fuses turn off; on New Year's Eve, the fuses turned off, so the code stopped working, we were left standing outside in the cold for almost two hours because neither the host nor the manager could be contacted. - The electrical system is inefficient, with fuses constantly turning off (1-2 times a day). - The Wi-Fi also kept cutting out. - The apartment is located on the second floor, at the top of a narrow and steep staircase. - On arrival in the evening, the water pressure in the taps was very low – it was practically impossible to take a shower. - There's no hot water in the shower head, and it's impossible to turn off the water to the shower head while using the headset; only headset works. - The hosts insist that the trash be taken out at the end of the stay and threaten a €100 fine if you don't do it; the garbage bags they provide don't fit the kitchen bin. - We waited for a refund of €250 deposit for three weeks and finally had to ask for it; it was returned, minus the transfer fee, which should be paid by hosts.
