This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Pros:
Location was great, 5 min walking distance to the city centre and the mertro starion. Even when we needed to pick something from our room during sightseeing, a short visit to the apartament didn't cost us much time.
The room was quiet. After locking the door and windows, hardly any sound from oustside could be heard.
The room was spacious and had a separate bathroom and a kitchen corner.
Price was one of the cheapest we could get for the long weekend a few weeks before arrival.
Cons:Our room (twin private) was located on the groundfloor, in a space which looked like an addapted retail space. It made it necessary to keep a roller blind down all the time - otherwise we would look like a display for passers-by. I don't think every room is such, but ours was. If it wasn't for that, my rank would propably be higher than that.
Condition was not ideal - the bed was a bit damaged, and other pieces furniture and overal finnishing of the room had many minor flaws.
Overal:The price was cheap for its location. It is good for people who don't pay much attention to the standard of the room. If You value location and functionality - the place is right for You. If You want to feel comfortibaly and spend some time in Your room other way than sleeping, eating or washing, You may want to consider another option.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Great location, spacious and clean room with kitchen facilities and a big shower, excellent service. Fully recommended!!
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
The place was good value for money. There was a functioning kitchen with utensils, so we could save on our food expenses. It was spacious enough and had all the basic amenities. The only problems we had were:
1) There were notices advising us not to leave valuable things in the house when we go out. Although there was some arrangement to keep such things in some specified place, we preferred to carry our laptop along with us (which wasn't much fun).
2) Although there were wi-fi signals available everywhere, the wireless network that was present in most of the house was not connected to the internet. Only in one little corner were the weak signals of a wireless network that was connected to the internet available. And it kept getting disconnected intermittently.
3) The taps in the bathroom worked in binary mode: either you get hot water or cold water. It was not easy to adjust the water to any temperature that we wanted. But still it was not a big problem.But everything considered, this place is still very good value for your money.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Good value for money. The apartments are basic but clean and only a 10 minute walk from the city centre old town. Clean towels, well-heated rooms, not the most comfortable bed but what you'd expext for the price! The radio/CD player provided is a nice touch.
There are metro and tram stops nearby and the apartments are conveniently located for the CAT train to take you to the airport - the CAT is only a couple of metro stops away.
