Good location
We had a great time at this spacious apartment, perfect for groups or families. Its practical layout and proximity to attractions, food stores, bars, and cafes made our stay very convenient.
Youssef, the host, was proactive in communication, addressing our questions, and provided helpful parking advice. He was available around the clock, responding promptly.
During our January visit, the apartment was quite cold. The provided electric heaters helped in smaller areas like bathrooms and bedrooms, though they took a while to warm up these spaces. Unfortunately, they weren’t as effective in the living/dining room, where we resorted to wearing coats indoors. Wall mounted heat pump did not work.
There were a few quirks too. The lack of a door in the master bedroom's adjacent bathroom and the unstable sliding door without a lock in the second bathroom required some improvisation for privacy. The beautiful master bedroom appearance was compromised by the adjacent janitor's closet with no door/curtain and clutter. Another challenge was the limited hot water supply; using both showers simultaneously was not possible. Using several electrical appliances located on the same circuit caused power outages; fortunately, the fuse box was easy to find.
Despite minor inconveniences, the apartment served its purpose well with its spaciousness, location, and Youssef's attentive hosting.
