Okay, but not luxury.
I Have very mixed feelings about this accommodation. It looked very beautiful in the photos and they did represent the space well. However, there were a few flaws and did not quite live up to the description. The pros were the view and the nearby restaurants. The cons, unfortunately, outweighed the pros. The first thing that turned me off was the parking. The description stated “designated street parking included in the price – 5 minute walk”. Once we dropped our bags off, we had to follow the caretakers in our car for appx. 10 minutes all the way around the city to a public parking lot. It was not designated for the apartment in any way. It was PUBLIC parking, and it was free to anyone, so how can it be included in the price? Then the walk back to the apartment was 10 to 15 minutes. Not something you want to do when you have a car, especially in the rain. Next con was that the kitchen did not have pantry items, as stated, with the exception of salt and a small bit of oil(?) someone had left in a used Coke bottle. So if you actually want to cook something from scratch you need to supply absolutely everything you need to cook with. To me that is not a “fully equipped kitchen”. The lighting in the bathrooms could be brightened up a bit, too. We contacted the host after 2 days to express our concerns and she admitted she had never even been in the apartment. If you want to use the word luxury in your description, you are setting your standards very high. A Mr.Coffee (without coffee provided) and only basic soap in the bathroom is not luxury. We left a day early and moved to our next destination since this did not live up to it’s billing in many ways. So bottom line…if you aren’t driving or cooking and love IKEA, you should be satisfied here. If not look elsewhere.
