Reservation process and handover of keys at arrival was no problem. Landlord was easily reachable and readily available. Closeness of the apartment to downtown was great.

Unfortunately the apartment had some not so good aspects for us:

We were told that the apartment has an air circulation system (requires closed windows), which, as far as we could tell, didn't work. If it did work, it was not effective. Opening the windows during the night to cool the apartment down exposed us to extreme noise until about 2am - 3am every night: very loud groups of people talking, mopeds, motorcycles, cars etc. - don't think about any sleep if you are a light sleeper. The floors of the apartment were definitely cleaner after having walked on them bare foot. The windowless storage room and the room just outside smelled really bad due a wet and very dirty cleaning towel that was left in the room. We also noticed the same unwelcoming smell in the large bathroom. Due to the heat, we had asked the landlord for extra large towels but he limited us to one per person; we ended up buying more ourselves.

Overall, it was too bad that some of the things were not as good as we had hoped for, although we would think some of them could be fairly easily rectified.

Overall rating: two to three stars.
