Not a very good neighbourhood

Very poor

2.0

Not worth the price advertised. We visited in the middle of winter and the room was extremely cold and dark. Some lights did not work, the host wanted us to pay for an Uber so that they can fill gas for the heater, because their car had broken down. Most of the kitchen appliances aren't fully functional, plugs are very dodgy, there were spider webs all over the room. It was as if no one had stayed in the room for a long time. The surrounding area feels extremely unsafe. You don't want to go out during the evening. The security gate to the apartment only locks from the outside. The owner only had 1 key to the gate and kept the gate on manual at times.

Nothing, worst place i ever saw, i left, paid for 2 weeks didnt sleep one night. I would rather sleep in my car for a month then one night in this place.

worst place i ever saw, i left, paid for 2 weeks didnt sleep one night… paid for another B&B instead. Dirty walls, Dirty ceilings, smells like smoke, curtains torn, mould on ceiling: location is terrible and unsafe.

Our stay was exceptional. The cottage is great value for money. It was cosy, neat and comfortable as well as well equipped-truly a home away from home. Celeste was also an excellent host and we had a lovely time there.
