Overall, the stay was fine and I appreciated the communication from the host. The location and check-in process were smooth. There were just a few issues during the stay — the apartment could have been a bit cleaner, there was a smell throughout the place, and a few things needed maintenance like the shower, washing machine etc. The space also felt a little more cramped than expected from the photos. That said, we still had an overall decent stay and the location was right in city centre which made it very accessible.

Positive: Great central location. Apartments were very modern and clean Negative: No hanging space in storage cupboards...plenty of space to put up a rail. No air-conditioning but exceptional heat (during red warning heat wave) but a large fan was provided which would normally br enough
