Centrala läget

− Uteplatsen var inte fräsch. Någon rökte hasch/ marijana och troligtvis odling?! I annan våning ovanför oss.

excellent location, close to the metro and in a great neighborhood

− One bedroom has a serious water leak, the smell is unbearable and unhealthy, there are no windows, and it's unbearable. We slept in the living room. It's a basement, and there's only one window in the bathroom, so the whole apartment smelled. At one point, we noticed that even our clothes smelled. In the bathroom with the shower, you could see that they'd tried to repaint over the mold, but the mold was still clearly visible. There was no detergent to clean the kitchen or even the dining table, and only three dishwasher tablets for four nights. The kitchen was bare. The shower faucets didn't work properly, and the water was always too cold. The owner responds promptly to messages, but our experience is exactly as described above.

Location was great

− Lacked kitchen supplies and there was a serious mould issue in one of the bedrooms. It was extremely unsafe to sleep in.

Desepcion, muy caro por un sótano que huele mal.

Poco, solo que está cerca de los museos, el resto nada.

− Es en un sótano, sin aire puro, tiene un patio mínimo, inhabitable y todo el departamento tenía olor a humedad y cloaca. Fue muy difícil. La zona es buena a medias, tener los museos es bueno, pero el resto es muy sucio.

Mouldy and not safe to stay

Collecting the keys was easy, the host kept in touch during the duration of our stay and the location was fantastic. The price seemed very reasonable for the area but when we got to the apartment I realised why it was so cheap. While we had some problems during our stay, the host did allow us to have a later checkout which was helpful.

− We had booked this before any negative reviews had been made and experienced the exact same problems mentioned by others. It is a basement apartment as expected and while there obviously won’t be as much airflow compared to upper levels, there was a seriously concerning mould problem. There is a damp mouldy smell around the entire apartment. The main bedroom walls and ceilings were covered in mould and there was mould in the bathroom. There was a dehumidifier in one bedroom however when we arrived it was turned off with the door closed, cutting any airflow. We had to pull the mattress out the room to the living room and 2 of us slept on the livingroom floor as it didn’t feel safe to sleep in the room. There were not many windows so whenever we were in the apartment or sleeping we kept the door to the patio wide open. As mentioned previously, this is a small area in which toilet windows open out to. There were pipes that had water pouring out the bottom of them and we were not sure if this was attached to a toilet in the flat above. The cabinet in the kitchen was broken (as stated a few months ago) and while the countertops were clean, the floor was dirty with other people’s hair and crumbs lying around indicating that it had been given a quick wipe but not hoovered. The flat looked unfinished with holes that have been filled and left, broken lights, marks on the walls/radiators and a broken toilet roll holder. I contacted the host about these various issues as soon as we arrived who was responsive and said he would look into sorting a cleaner for us. He informed me that they had a specialist out who advised protecting it with mould paint and that there is water coming from the flat above so there isn’t much that can be done. In regards to the cleanliness, he got in touch the next afternoon to say he could have it cleaned again but we were leaving the next again day so left it. I don’t believe it’s safe to stay here, especially if you are asthmatic.
